Engine: Beginning with a standard 4.6L block, Keasler Racing of Maryville, Tennessee, assembled the bottom end of the 281ci screamer using a forged steel crank, Crower rods, Clevite bearings, and 8.5:1 JE pistons with Total Seal rings. On the top end a set of heads from the Ford GT are fitted with Comp Cams valves, FMS cams, and Jesel rockers. That custom-designed intake is fed through two 72mm Accufab throttle bodies and sees 12 psi of boost from two 76mm Turbonetics turbos with Newgen wastegates.
Power: In its street-friendly tune, the 4.6 pumps out 839 hp at a shrieking 8,700 rpm on 93-octane fuel. Bobby is confident there's a few hundred more horsepower left in it with race gas and more boost.
Transmission: With an 8,700-rpm redline you gotta have a stick. A T56 six-speed transmission from G-Force Racing was chosen to back the powerful modular and provide long enough legs for the steep 4.88 gears. At 60 mph, the engine is only turning 2,200 rpm.
Rearend: The 9-inch centersection and axles are from Strange Engineering. A set of 4.88 gears was chosen to counteract the size of the rear tires and let the engine happily wind to nearly 9,000 rpm.
Suspension: The front suspension is based upon Morrison's control arms and spindles with Strange Engineering coilover shocks with 525 -pound springs. Steering comes from an AGR rack-and-pinion. The rear suspension is Morrison's triangulated four-link rear with Strange coilovers using 250-pound springs.
Brakes: With the prospect of an 839hp car banging gears at 8,700 rpm, Bobby wanted to make sure that George could slow down as fast as he could accelerate, so all four corners are fitted with Wilwood six-piston calipers on 14-inch slotted and cross-drilled rotors.
Wheels: Boyd Coddington's wheel shop built these true knock-off wheels for the Mustang at 17x6 and 20x10 inches.
Tires: B.F. Goodrich KDWS tires stick the power to the street with 215/45R17s in the front and 265/50R20s in the rear.
