The replacement 402ci V8 was rebuilt with an upgraded rotating assembly using forged pistons, chromoly rings, and stainless valves and was installed during the refurbishment.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and 12-bolt rear axle.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge, while a trio of Bosch auxiliary gauges are mounted to the underside of the dash.

The five-digit odometer shows 89k miles.
