1 Seen at the huge Ford booth, two new V8s for the F Super Duty trucks, a 6.2-litre gas engine and further, a 6.7-litre diesel engine. 2 Remember the Chrysler Cross Ram intakes
of the sixties? Here is the modern iteration of that technology! 3 Would you believe a supercharged V12 Detroit Diesel engine in a hot-rod Peterbilt truck? 4 The supercharged
4.6 litre Ford V8 looks just right in the engine bay of a customized 1960 Ford Starliner. 5 How about a Toyota TRD V8 in a Scion…? 6 Impressive! A big-block Chevy V8 with
blower in the chassis of a traditional hot-rod. 7 How about this one—a six-cylinder diesel engine in a funny car! 8 What’s this—a Cummins engine under the hood of a 1968
Cadillac? 9 Ingenious! 10 Memories: a Ford Flathead V8 with Ardun heads (Ardun is from Zora Arkus-Duntov, the spiritual father of the early Corvettes). 11 Only at SEMA: a
twin-engine hot rod under construction! 12 Not an engine but a well designed front suspension for an off-road truck. 13 A very simple swap: a modern Chevy V8 in a vintage
Toyota Land Cruiser. 14 Does anyone remember Ford’s Indy SOHC V8 of the sixties? 15 Ford had its new FR9 NASCAR racing engine at its SEMA booth. 16 The Speed Demon
Land Speed Record car uses a Suzuki engine for motivation. 17 The GM Metric frame is now available as a reproduction unit. 18 The last word: an electric… hot rod?
