Here's what Glen has to say about his 408:
My 408 Windsor is clocking in at 4 years old. It runs great! I turn the key and it comes roaring in at over 510 horsepower. It amazes me how well it behaves pulling hills at 1100 rpm. Great combination, I couldn’t be happier.
Phew, that's nice.

Check out this sweet behind the wheel footage of "The Reaper" as he dominates the Deer Creek Speedway!
Featuring Ryan Gustin, backed by a custom Tri Star Engines powerplant!
Ryan would go on to finish third at Deer Creek, but Sunday the Reaper was back in action again! Ryan Gustin roped himself a rugged victory Sunday night when the USMTS invaded the Creek County Speedway for the 2nd Annual Bullring Badass presented by Bravado Wireless, AmeriFlex Hose & Accessories, Pizza Express and Duvall Electric.

Following up last year’s inaugural event where fans were treated to a caution-free 40-lap barnburner, another epic battle in the tight confines of the 35-year-old quarter-mile dirt oval produced another 40 circuits of rush hour traffic.
“It was elbows up, no doubt,” said Gustin, who rode into the USMTS winners circle for the first time since the final night of the Featherlite Fall Jamboree on Sept. 23, 2017. “I broke something in the left front there and, man, that thing was tight on entry.
“I didn’t want no more laps, that’s for sure. I was wore out and the car didn’t want no more either.”
Unfortunately for USMTS national points leader Rodney Sanders, his tire only had 30 laps in it. In the heat of a three-way tussle between himself, Dereck Ramirez and Gustin, Sanders slowed on the exit of turn 2 which allowed Ramirez and Gustin to scoot past while Sanders came to a stop in the next corner.
Following the caution flag with ten laps remaining, Ramirez was able to nose in front of Gustin to lead lap 31, but ‘The Reaper’ came storming back on the high side to take the lead for good with eight to go.
From there, Gustin rode the dangerous but faster high line to the checkered flag with Jake O’Neil advancing to claim the runner-up spot while Ramirez held strong in third.
With last year’s winless season and a rash of mechanical woes since March of 2019, the win was just what the doctor ordered for the two-time USMTS National Champion.
“We’ve just had some tough luck you know; That’s how it goes,” said Gustin, who unveiled his new livery last weekend with new sponsor Spike Hardcore Energy. “We can’t be having any more failures or anything going on, so we have to stay on top of our maintenance program.”
It was Gustin’s 95th career triumph—third on the USMTS all-time wins list.
“Hopefully Cedar Lake on Saturday is 100,” Gustin added, referencing the 20th Annual Masters, June 13-15. With seven features races on tap between now and then, anything is possible with cooperation from racing gremlins and Mother Nature.

By nature, rat rodders don’t need to find a reason to hit the road and spend a day cruising in their “built to drive” machines, but for one tight-knit family of Mid-Western Rat Rodders, a reason found them. During the 2014-2015 Holiday Season three of them lost their fathers to various types of cancer and a fourth member of the group’s father was also diagnosed with cancer. The extremely close timing of these events seemed some sort of calling and inspired the group to start planning their areas first rat rod benefit cruise.

Here's what Barry has to say about his ride!
My Dad and I used to build Mustangs together back in the early 80's. I think we built almost 10 ranging from 1966 Coupes, and Fastbacks to a 1970 Mach 1. He passed away in 2005 and this build is a tribute to him. We always wanted to build a Street/Strip car but never had the money or the time to build what we envisioned. So in 2014 I found this beat up 1967 Mustang Coupe in the back of a guys property and bought it. I've spent the last 5 years building the car my Dad and I always wanted to build. The car originally had a 289 engine it, but I wanted something with more cubic inches and a lot more horsepower. I found your website and the Ford 408 Stroker was exactly what I was looking for. The price and the quality of parts that your company uses to build your engines was hard to beat. But what made the deal for me was your great service from your Sales rep Ryan. He was extremely helpful and answered all my questions.
