This image might seem familiar, as I think I ran in Hot Rod magazine when this van hit the salt, I could be wrong of course, but the image seems very familiar.
Ken installed a supercharged 355 sbc, and saved some money by not using a driveshaft. The TH-350 transmission yoke is connected directly to the Ford 8″ diff. On top of the engine sits a Weiand 6-71 supercharger which helps the engine produce 600 horsepower. The build took four years to complete and has been driven all over the US from Ken's home in Pennsylvania
