PRW is proud to introduce our Project Car for our 2021 Catalog!

Amidst the numerous disruptions caused by COVID-19 this year, PRW has worked hard to maintain our status in the automotive aftermarket parts industry and we’re proud to have upheld our operations along with progressively growing throughout all aspects.  We’ve put in the extra effort to provide our parts and additionally introduce new parts to our product line.

We’d like to introduce another project of ours, set to make a debut on our upcoming 2021 PRW Catalog.  We’ll be working alongside many outstanding companies for this build and will document our progress here.  This blog post will be updated showing steps of our build, which parts and companies we’re working with, and so on.  This will be a great time for all and we’re excited for the journey and final result.

 

 

Take a look at our choice of Radiator for our 2021 Catalog Car Build!

has an awesome Direct Fit Downflow Radiator Module which will suit our needs and yours too!

 

 

     Cooling monster motors, especially when faced with common problems like tight spaces and small grille openings can be a challenge. Be Cools cooling technology produces radiators that are 40 percent lighter than conventional O.E.M. units, yet have greater cooling power. Their epoxy-free construction provides better heat dissipation, too, while allowing complete repairability. A mirror-polished finish is an option on all Be Cool radiators.
     High-quality Be Cool radiators are 100 percent made in the North America. Most are made for specific applications, fit without the need for major modifications, and are compatible with all coolants.
They are Guaranteed to lower your coolant temperature a minimum of 20 degrees, or your money back! In fact most customers report even greater coolant temperature drops. If you have a stock vehicle think O.E.M., but if you have a performance vehicle you should consider Be Cool!
     Be Cool goes one step further with our Direct-Fit Radiator Modules. These modules include a Radiator (downflow or crossflow), Electric Fan/s, Fan Mounting Brackets, Wiring Harness with Relay/s, Temperature Sender, Billet Radiator Cap, Diamond-Cut Recovery Tank, and All Necessary Hardware. ❄️

Need stopping power? 🛑❓ Our 2021 Catalog Car needs that also! Of course we went with the BEST:

Wilwood Disc Brakes
We used Wilwood Part Number 140-11403 Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors w/Red Calipers for our 1966 Mustang. 
Forged Dynapro Low-Profile Pro-Series rear disc brake kits provide a complete solution for popular muscle car rear axles on applications that require a parking brake assembly and extra clearance for 14.00” to 15.00” rim applications. Forged billet Dynapro Low-Profile four-piston calipers 11.00” one-piece hat and rotor assemblies, and high friction pads provide optimized and balanced braking for all types of custom performance street/strip and show machines. The neatly hidden internal shoe system provides a clean installation with superior static holding power for parking.

Weber Carburetors

Take a look at those carbs. Our 2021 Catalog Car is coming along quite nicely thanks to

JEP Autoworks.
We’re using Weber Carburetors and their Redline Kit. Their v8 Proline Performance kit was a perfect match for our build.
We have started to put together our chosen transmission kit from Silver Sport Transmissions.

Silver Sport Transmissions, an Elite Distributor of TREMEC® Transmissions, is the industry leader in the research and development of kits to modernize the drivetrain of classic cars, trucks and street rods. Their SST A41 Automatic, TREMEC TKO and T5 5-Speeds, and TREMEC Magnum 6-Speed PerfectFit and RestroFit® Kits are the best fitting and most complete kits available.

After seeing how comprehensive their kits are and the attention to detail, it was a no-brainer to choose their Tremec TKO Kit with the TKO 600 Ratios.

PRW Visits Jep Autoworks to Test and Tune our 1966 Ford Mustang 2021 Catalog Car

 

We took a field trip to JEP Autoworks in Hemet, CA to take a look at the progress of our 1966 Ford Mustang 2021 Catalog Car. The vehicle is near completion and we’re pleased with the wonderful results from JEP Autoworks and the Outstanding companies who helped build this Mustang from the ground up with their products.

Here’s a highlight video of the day showcasing some of the parts used and some dyno clips. We’ll be posting dyno runs and output information soon so stay tuned!

Much thanks to our Friends and Sponsors for the build:

JEP Autoworks
Global West Suspension
Wilwood Disc Brakes
Canton Racing Products
B&M
Eagle
MSD Ignition
Weber Carburetors
Currie Enterprises
Silver Sport Transmissions
Be Cool Inc

Inland Empire Driveline
Pacific Performance Products
JBA Performance Exhaust

 

 

Steering is an essential part of a build which doesn’t get enough attention at times.  We’ve looked into what would fit best with our build and our choice was with Unisteer.  They carry great steering systems and components for classic and custom vehicles.  We’ve decided to pick part number 8001110-01-01 that can be seen here.

We liked how the kit was versatile enough to fit different builds, as stated on their website:

“The kit will work on Big Block and Small Block cars, and have been successfully used with Stock Manifolds, and Hooker Super Comp Headers. Other Headers may work, but we can’t guarantee an easy install. This kit requires the use of a mini starter. This kit may require some modifications on Mustangs with Dart Heads and other Aftermarket Heads requiring different headers.”

Installation was a breeze and we had no problems with clearance or any other issues. We’re starting to test drive our Mustang and hopefully testing it on a track soon.  We’ll be updating our testing soon!
