Tom has done a whole bunch of work under the hood - and not just to the engine either. It has a Ford Racing 351ci V8 engine. The firewall, inner fender liners, and core support are all filled and smoothed. Everything is painted body gray.

This was the first Mustang production year of the Grabber Orange color, the Shelby Mustangs used this color for the first time a year earlier. Unlike most 1970 Mach I's, the hood air scoop is functional due to the Super Cobra Jet engine underneath.

The Super Cobra Jet 360hp (at 5400rpm), 428 cubic inch, V8 engine. Only one other 1970 Mustang engine was more powerful, and that was the Boss 375ph( at 5600rpm) 429 cubic inch, V8 with Ram Air induction. The Super Cobra Jet could not be ordered separately as an option but came with the 3.91:1 and 4.30:1 axle ratios options which earned buyers a Drag Pak option ($155) that included the 428 Super Cobra Jet and an engine oil cooler.
