Centerline wheels grace all four corners, while a 9-inch Ford packing 3.89:1 gears transfers power to the big meats.
Keith had an ace-in-the-hole when it came to the powerplant. It seems he just happened to have a big-block 454 Chevy motor that had previously seen duty in a drag boat. This little jewel had originally come from Big Al's Toy Box and was equipped with a BDS-671 blower, twin Carter 750s, and a COMP Cams bumpstick ground specifically for the blower. A final nostalgic touch on the motor is a pair of Moon Eyes valve covers that Keith couldn't resist, while the spent fumes are blown through Sanderson headers. Keith transmits the plentiful ponies to the rear Hoosier tires via a TCI Turbo 400 transmission he equipped with a B&M ratchet shifter. He also fit a B&M cooler to the trans and has it set up with a stall speed of 2,800 rpm so the motor won't get lugged-a real problem with a blower up top.
