Comments: Alex has been building this car for the past few years on his YouTube Channel, Alex’s Automotive Adventures. Originally his fathers car, it started out as a Blue 6 Cylinder and was painted Mulberry metallic by his dad, and had a blown 351 before the current 408ci Cleveland was fitted. Alex reckons the current engine is good for 1000hp on NOS.
