This F100 Has a Shelby GT500 Engine - Full Walkaround and Highway Test

Описание: Taking you through a full walkaround and highway test drive of this freshly completed F100 drift truck build. Plain white patina exterior hides a Shelby GT500 engine making nearly 800 horsepower, sitting on an FFG Level 2 performance chassis with a hydraulic drift brake. This thing is the definition of a sleeper truck.

Customer found this truck sitting in a field—typical story. Wanted to keep the original patina look, white bumpers, single mirror, all the period-correct details. But underneath, we built this to perform. GT500 Predator engine, 10-speed automatic, front and rear sway bars, upgraded suspension, and that drift brake for having some fun. We kept the exterior bone stock and focused everything on making this thing drive like a modern performance truck.

The interior got the treatment with black leather and red stitching, old school race vibes. Push button start, modern AC, USB charging, all the conveniences you'd want but keeping it simple. No radio delete, just an ashtray like trucks used to have. Comfortable seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel with red stitching to match, and that hydraulic drift brake setup right next to the shifter.
We're finishing up the final miles on this build before it goes home. Every truck we build gets driven a thousand miles so we can find any issues and get everything dialed in. This one's been smooth—no leaks, everything's working, drives confident at highway speeds. You could jump in this thing and drive it across the country tomorrow. That's the standard.

The GT500 engine is a factory stock Predator motor. It's tough to use this engine because there aren't a lot of accessories available, but we've developed our own kit you can get on our website. Power steering, AC, gets it all working and fitting properly. We've also got our brake booster kit, washer reservoir, new hood hinges for lowered trucks, and the Wizard radiator. Customer wanted everything blacked out and clean under the hood, so when he pops it to show his friends, it's top-notch quality.

At the end of this drive, we're heading to a drift pad where a professional driver is going to put this truck through its paces. Stay tuned for that video—things get wild and we might have destroyed a tire in the process.
