"Corruptt" 1968 Mustang Has a Twin-Turbo Ferrari 4.3-Liter V8

The first-generation Mustang is a pretty common sight on America's roads, as it set multiple sales records. Honestly, it doesn't look that special unless you've got $100,000 spent in restomod parts. However, this '68 'Stang lures you in with an open hood and the sight of a yellow engine.

Ford's idea of a performance powertrain for that generation is the Cobra Jet. However, the Corruptt Mustang opted to go European with a 4.3-liter Ferrari engine.

This engine is relatively small by Mustang standards, a laughable 262ci. However, in the retired F430 Italian supercar, it produced a respectable 483 hp of power and 343 pound-feet of torque. But it doesn't end there, as right at the nose of the car we see mirrored Nelson Racing turbochargers, a setup you normally see on an LS-based dragster.

The Italian connection also continues through an air intake from a California that burned down, the one from the original F430 obviously not being suitable outside a mid-engined layout.

Why a Ferrari engine? Not just to grab your attention, but also for practical reasons. The builder needed something small so that he wouldn't have to cut into the suspension towers, as he also wanted to install air suspension.

We're not sure the Ferrari engine needed turbocharging, considering that a modern Mustang GT makes less than that. But the Corruptt Mustang is targeting a 700 horsepower pull through the Tremec T56 six-speed transmission with sequential shifter.

Other mods include a slight roof chop, boxed in fenders, RideTech Suspension and Avant Garde F461 wheels shod with Toyo tires. Inside, many parts were 3D-printed and wrapped in carbon fiber for a racing look. The leatherwork is also pretty nice, and the whole thing honestly resembles Eleanor, obviously without the fastback body.
