Excalibur was built by our good friend Sean Puz of \u201c1 of One Customs\u201d out of Florida. This build is custom from top to bottom. Completely hand built from scratch. It features a complete custom Derale Cooling system complete with custom fabricated radiators built out of Derale Hi-Flow Fluid Coolers. The build also utilizes Derale electric fans helping to keep it all cool. Excalibur won first place in the 2021 International RATical Rod Build\/Drive Off.<\/p>\n
Here is a write-up about the vehicle from Sean Puz.\u00a0 \u201cThe Excalibur has an all-aluminum body structure and skin, a polished stainless steel tubular chassis and suspension, and an all-aluminum 6.2 liter LS3 making 540hp. Fuel is stored in a custom aluminum tank and delivered to an AED Competition fuel system with a custom-made carburetor. It is coupled to a BLR 700R4 transmission, sporting a Boss Hog 2,700 stall torque converter, then mated to a Frankland racing quick change rear end. So the engine, transmission, and rear are on a swing arm\/cradle. I\u2019m pretty proud of how that and all the other ideas are working. We used an Optima yellow top battery to crank up, and Stainless Works custom exhaust to exit the fire. To keep all that nice and cool we have a complete Derale Performance cooling system. I chose them because they\u2019re the best in the business. Having a radiator in the back is a monumental challenge here in Florida. But not to worry, Derale is still victorious. Also, I designed and developed a custom hydraulic ride-height control. This enables the truck to lay flat on the ground, and then be able to raise up to 8 inches high if needed. After the ride height is set, the O\u2019hlins USA double adjustable coil-over suspension handles the bumps like no other.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":42632,"template":"","class_list":["post-42631","car-builds","type-car-builds","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
