Weld-In Front Suspensions

Art Morrison Enterprises offers weld-in front suspensions in a variety of widths.

This distance is shown on the left side of the adjacent chart. On the right side of the chart you’ll see the track width for the corresponding assembly. Track width is determined from hub-to-hub. Please also consider wheel size and offset when determining width.

Twin-Turbo Alien Windsor Ford 428

The 428 Twin Turbo Windsor is something Nelson Racing Engines has been refining for more than 10 years. This Twin-Turbo Ford is a full street engine using a proprietary hydraulic cam, which means you will never adjust valves. The company’s new electronics make this one of the nicest-driving Fords it’s ever done. The NRE team spent countless hours working on combinations designed around detonation resistance, which the Fords are known for. This makes 1,000 hp on 91 octane and 1,500 on race gas. They say the throttle response on this package is insane, and you will be surprised at how snappy this combo is. Best of all is that this thing sounds amazing: a nice choppy idle with that hollow unique Ford sound.

What better way to finish off that restomod, hot rod, drag car, or street car then with a ProCharger supercharger?
