Have you ever questioned what the world’s fastest Ford little block V8-powered automobile appears like? I’ll inform you– it looks like a blue Mustang GT500.
‘ Looks like’ is a keyword here, due to the fact that plainly I’m revealing you a dragster. Well, technically it’s a Doorslammer, which is extremely comparable to a Pro Mod device.
Andres Arnover, owner of the Fast Ford Racing Team and chauffeur of this Mustang is popular in European drag racing circles. The Estonian races all around the continent, and has actually formerly completed in the U.S.A.. It existed, at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida, that Andres ended up being the very first to run a 5-second quarter-mile ET utilizing a Ford little block V8. His time: 5.999 at 245.49 miles per hour (395.077 km/h)
What does it require to attain that level of efficiency with a little block Ford? About 3,500 hp, I’m informed. The engine is a 430ci system developed to support 4,000 hp at the crank with a Weston Maker billet block, Dave Visner Pro-X billet heads, twin 88mm Accuracy Pro Mod turbochargers, and M1 methanol fuel. (Have a look at the complete engine specification listed below)
It must come as not a surprise that Andres and his group were just able to attain this record in the U.S.A., where drag racing culture has actually existed for more than 70 years. The centers are so better stateside, and those handling the leading drag strips have tremendous understanding when it pertains to establishing and keeping their tracks.
I shot the Mustang at a regional occasion here in Estonia, where Quick Ford Racing got involved simply for presentation. The strip was simply a closed-down airfield runway with no PJ1 TrackBite on the ground. So even with the power turned right down– we’re talking simply 4.35 psi of increase here– the back tires were spinning, however it was outstanding to enjoy nevertheless.
For 2021, Andres is making a relocation to the FIA Pro Customized class with a brand name brand-new chassis and a HEMI engine. He feels that the task has actually finished with the Ford little block, however offered Quick Ford Racing’s success with the engine, I think we must never ever state never ever.
