The cars used for the TV series were equipped with the 152-HP 5.8-liter Windsor V-8 engine for non-chase and non-stunt scenes, while the stunt cars were equipped with the 6.5- and 7.5-liter V-8s.

Here are the various stages of engine assembly:

Kerick:
The Ford blue looks great.
I always love how those rubber belts are able to support and drive the power steering pump and the alternator. They just don’t build them like that anymore! (Thank heavens!)
I bet there is PE support brackets or something like that. I’m not a car guy so don’t pay any attention to me!

Now there is a blast-from-the-past  :D

For us North American oldies, that's a 351 Windsor or 396FE and 460 Police Interceptor (aka 'Godzilla')  ;)

Anyone else suddenly hearing Blue Öyster Cult ?  ;D

Story:
I had a 4 door 351 Windsor back in the day that embodied the B52s' line "seats about 20".
Poop brown, stripped off the chrome and spent more on bondo than I did for the car itself.
Good times, good times.
