Project Top Notch: Vortech Supercharged, Coyote Aluminator Swapped Fox-body Makes 870 WHP
You’d have to be living under a rock to have missed Project Top Notch.
Buuuut in case you missed it, Top Notch is the wildest and craziest Fox-body I’ve ever seen. It sports crazy front suspension with a 5.0L Coyote Aluminator engine swap that’s set back 17 inches for a near perfect 51/49 f/r weight distribution. But that’s not all, it’s got SLE double-wishbone inboard cantilever front suspension from JME Enterprises, a wide stance, insanely huge rims along with a a custom intercooled Vortech V-7 JT Supercharger set at 17.5psi, a Nitrous Express bar sprayer for the intercooler and lightweight everything! How light? Try 2600 pounds! How much power? Well, 870 HP at the wheels!
