The motto "there's no replacement for displacement" that cursed characterized the US auto industry for decades seems to be losing its fad nowadays. Even classic hot rods like Ford's 1934 model are prime candidates for some modern tech under the hood. In a joint venture with Detroit Street Rods and Experi-metal, Ford has dropped its new 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that delivers a hefty 400 horsepower and 400 ft.-lb. of torque into a 1934 coupe that will be officially revealed at the SEMA show next week.

Turbo Rodding: Ford to Show 1934 Hot Rod with 400HP EcoBoost V6 at SEMA
The motto "there's no replacement for displacement" that cursed characterized the US auto industry for decades seems to be losing its fad nowadays. Even classic hot rods like Ford's 1934 model are prime candidates for some modern tech under the hood. In a joint venture with Detroit Street Rods and Experi-metal, Ford has dropped its new 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that delivers a hefty 400 horsepower and 400 ft.-lb. of torque into a 1934 coupe that will be officially revealed at the SEMA show next week."The decision to use the EcoBoost engine for our powertrain on this project was an easy one in that it gave us the opportunity to combine the iconic '34 Ford sculpted body lines with the advanced technology of the EcoBoost powerplant," stated Robert Smith, president of Detroit Street Rods. "The result is the perfect hot rod marriage of advanced technology for power and legendary automobile design."
This is the first time that Ford has used its new V6 turbo on a rear-wheel drive model but not the last as the EcoBoost engine will find its way under the hood of the F-150 pickup truck late next year and hopefully, on the Mustang also.
