Today's Muscle Engines for Yesterday's Cars

SPS is a Chevrolet Performance Authorized Reseller!

Charley's 1932 Ford Roadster

Check out Charley's sexy 1932 Ford Roadster. Charley came to us at Southern Performance Systems looking for something that would catch people's attention when they walked by at car shows. SPS supplied Charley with a 400 horse power LS2 6.0L engine from Chevrolet. The engine was mated with a Tremec T56 manual 6-speed transmission. Serpentine system was from a 2006 GTO with an aftermarket Sanden AC compressor at special mounting bracket for the kit.

Dick's 1932 Ford Roadster

The is a 1932 Ford with a New LS2 and Performance 4L65E Transmission. Dick wanted this project to be somewhat different so we powered coated Block and Transmission with a Gloss Black Finish. The engine was blueprinted upon being reassembled as was the transmission. We then had the following polished: heads, oil pan, timing cover, water pump, valley cover, valve covers and spark plug boots. Once assembled Dick had requested a Magnuson Supercharger .Once the supercharger was installed, we then added a Billet Accessory Kit.

Dick wanted to dyno engine just to see what he had. Remember no inner cooler! Results 558 HORSE POWER @ 6,200 RPM / 510 lbft @ 4,000 RPM. The supercharger was running 9 lbs. of boost, and yes. Just think, with an inner cooler you would see no less than 600 Horse Power.

Dennis's 1934 Ford Roadster

This slick Corvette Yellow Ford roadster is an all-steel body with a fiberglass trunk lid, and nothing captures the go-fast vibe of a salt flats racer like a fenderless '34. Lean and mean with no extra fat anywhere, it's the purest distillation of the hot-rodding spirit and offers traditional details combined with a bit of modern technology to create a unique machine. Up front there's a beautifully finished '34 grille that has been given a show chrome finish, and it hangs right above a V'd spreader bar. The open hood sides show off the Corvette powerplant, and you can clearly see that finish quality is excellent. Original trim pieces like the cowl lights, scroll-like door handles, and a plain radiator cap give it an authentic feel, while modern paint makes it look like a million bucks. And this is one of the few rods that looks as good with the top up as it does with the top down. 

Dean's 1937 Ford

This is definitely not your normal 1937 Ford. Notice anything different? Figured it out yet? This '37 is running one of (if not the first) Southern Performance System's C5 Corvette Rolling Assemblies that was sold. The amazing thing about this is Dean did not cut any of the C5 torque tube. He modified the body to fit the C5 Assembly. He only lengthened the front suspension. On the body, he added width to the fenders, both front and rear. Check out the working convertible top, First of its kind at the time.

Dale's 1937 Packard

Dale wants to keep this car as stock as possible. At this point he has changed the front end to modern disc brakes and rack and pinion set up. He added a custom built "9" inch ford rear. Dale purchased one of the first new 6.2 Liter Engines that came out in 2007 from SPS. SPS added the Stage 3 Comp Cam that not only has a lot of power but gives the car a great sound. Southern made other necessary modifications to the 6.2, we then added a Billet Aluminum Accessories kit, installed a Fast Harness and ECM Programming and what you have is a Turn Key package. The car runs quite well to say the least. But Dale might want to think about installing BIGGER BRAKES!!!

Jim's 1940 Ford Deluxe

This 1940 Ford Deluxe was built for Jim by Jim at Jim's Fab Shop in Iowa. Only a Ford engine would do for Jim's Ford Deluxe so we provided him with the Baddest of Ford engines at the time. A 2001 4.6L Mustang Cobra engine with Double Over-head Cams.

Jack's 1948 Chevrolet Truck

Jack is running a stock 6.0L LQ9 Vortec engine. Jack's truck is a real looker, check out the engine bay and passenger compartment.

Paul's 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air

This is a 1955 Chevy 2 Door Hard Top Bel Air owned by Paul Bowman. Paul's 55 Chevy is an amazingly beautiful machine. Southern Performance provided a custom LS1 engine package with for Paul's daily driver Hot Rod.

Paul built the 1955 Chevy himself at his shop with a handful of others suppling items such as the frame, rear end, upholstery, and paint work.

The 1955's frame was built by Bohannon Concepts with a Corvette front and rear setup. The paint job and upholstery work was provided by Allon's Body Shop & Upholstery (931-858-2716). Dupont Hot Hues was the paint brand of choice: Raspberry Candy & Silver.

Dale's 1957 Chevrolet Corvette

Dale has installed a Custom Built LT1 by Southern Performance Systems with a GM "H.O.T. Cam and Valve Train Kit. The engine was balanced and blue printed. The Heads have had minor port work and a performance valve job. The engine has been dressed up with accessories, paint work, and polishing. Dale is running a C4 Suspension from the 1987 Corvette which was installed by a builder in California for Dale.

Jack's 1964 Pontiac GTO

This is "Not Dadz" GTO. This 1964 Pontiac GTO Convertible was built by Time Machines in Florida for Jack Mathews. Jack came to us looking for some Modern Muscle to bring his "ole" Goat to life. Of course, we knew right away that the best choice would be the LS1 engine from a 2004 Pontiac GTO. We also added a few performance enhancing goodies to it for extra kick.

The "Not Dadz" GTO has won numerous Awards including:
Best in Class - 2006 Atlanta World of Wheels
Dest Street - 2007 Detroit Autorama
Major Award Winner - 2006 Nashville Goodguys

Chuck's 1966 Chevrolet Corvette

Ole CHUCK never did tell us how much wood a woodCHUCK could CHUCK if a woodCHUCK could CHUCK wood.

JB's 1967 Chevrolet Camaro

As seen on Speed Network's - R U Faster than a Redneck

Do you think that you are faster then a Redneck like Junior? We highly doubt it unless you've purchased your engine from Southern Performance Systems.

JB just loves racing around the track in his 67 Camaro with supercharged LS2.

Skuli's 1967 Chevrolet Camaro

This 67 Camaro belongs to Skuli S in Iceland. Not satisfied with the performance of the SBC, Skuli contacted SPS regarding a LS conversion. After many phone calls and emails we shipped two boxes of parts which included no less than Southern Performances LS3 / 480 HP engine - 4L70E transmission "Turn-Key" package with harness, programmed ECM/TCM, billet front runner kit, & correct oil pan. Skuli also purchased SPS's LS conversion package with radiator, headers, engine /trans installation kit, EFI fuel tank and fuel line kit. The front end was upgrade to a new sub frame, spindles, Heidts tubular upper and lower control arms, AFCO hydraulic adjustable coil over front shocks & Sway bar. A four link was installed in the rear with a 9" Ford housing. Wildwood 4 piston calipers, red of course, with drilled and slotted rotors for imrpoved stopping power. To be able to monitor how the engine works - RPM's and MPH Skuli also ordered a Dakota Digital gauge cluster which is a direct fit into the '67 dash.

Camaero's 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

Camaero's 1960 Camaro is one sharp looking car. Southern Performance Systems provided the turnkey LS7 427ci engine and transmission package for this project.

Frank's 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

This may look like a somewhat ordinary LS2 but it's not. What we have here is a LS2 running 11.3 to 1 compression, a Comp Cam Stage 3 Cam (Great sound and power to back it up). We used Cometic Head gaskets for the compression change then added ARP Head Bolts to make certain the heads stayed in place. We then installed a Fast LSX Intake with a 90mm throttle body (not shown in pictures due to the last minute addition). We then added a Billet Accessory Kit, Fast Harness and ECM Programming. The final result was a 500+ Horse Power LS2 Turn Key unit for, less than the cost of an LS7.
