The project started almost six years ago, and from the very beginning, the owner of Wilwood Engineering wanted a simple yet effective build without going too crazy and straying away from the Mustang look. The project took about two years to be completed, and the plan was to install the newest and best engine available on the market. That just happened to be a Coyote 5.0-Liter V8, with slightly over 400 horsepower on tap, and just 7,500 miles (over 12,000 km) on it.
