SEMA 2016: Edelbrock-blown, 785-horsepower 1965 Mustang

Coyote-swap classic Mustangs are all the rage at this year’s automotive aftermarket industry trade show in Las Vegas. They range from mild to wild, but one that stands out for its clean lines and Edelbrock-supercharged power is Vapor, a custom 1965 Mustang built by The Roadster Shop to showcase Eaton’s products.

“Eaton’s engineering expertise with our supercharger and differentials resulted in the products you see on the Vapor,” Amy Kartch, director, aftermarket sales, Eaton Vehicle Group, said. “Having a presence on such an exciting vehicle reaffirms Eaton’s technical capabilities in providing products for the automotive aftermarket that are designed to handle high performance applications.”

Obviously Vapor is built with Eaton gear like its Detroit Truetrac 5 pinion rearend, but it’s those Twin Vortices Series rotors inside the Edelbrock supercharger that turn a cool Coyote swap into a 785-horsepower/660 lb-ft beast.

“We are excited to showcase our most technologically advanced and powerful E-Force supercharged Ford 5.0 liter Coyote crate motor in possibly the finest ’65 Mustang build we have ever seen,” said Steve Whipple, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Edelbrock. “The unbelievable craftsmanship and cutting edge design of Vapor make us proud to be associated with this project.”
