A look at some of the traditional hot rods, race cars, and custom projects we have built and worked on over the years. These builds reflect the hands-on experience behind Casada Speed Equipment—from complete cars and chassis work to induction, fuel-system, and performance details.
1929 Ford Altered
Purpose-built, moly caged, nostalgia drag car powered by a 408-cubic-inch small-block Ford stroker with 11:1 compression, CNC aluminum heads, a solid-roller camshaft, powerglide transmission with transbrake, 4,500-rpm stall converter, Currie Ford 9-inch rear end, and four-link rear suspension. This was built by Ted McCord in Oklahoma. We are privileged to have purchased it and continue to modify the original car to Casada Speed Equipment specifications. It is our test mule for different fuel system applications. A big thanks to Ted for all his hard work.
1962 Chevrolet Chevy II
Full-steel, original-bodied Chevy II with an old-school red, white, and blue paint scheme. Powered by a 355-cubic-inch small-block Chevrolet with aluminum heads and a full roller valvetrain, running E85 through a Widowmaker E85 carburetor. The drivetrain includes a two-speed Powerglide transmission, 12-bolt rear end, and 10.5-inch rear tires. A fun piece of history.
Super Comp Rear-Engine Dragster
Purpose build Super Comp rear engine dragster featuring a chrome moly hardtail chassis. Powered by a 383 cubic inch small block Chevrolet with a roller valve train and backed by a Powerglide transmission with a transbrake. A Strange Engineering rear end and axles complete the drivetrain.
1938 Ford Deluxe Coupe
Clean, all-steel traditional hot-rod build retaining its factory trim and original-style banjo steering wheel. Powered by a small-block Chevrolet with a Powerglide transmission, Chevrolet 12-bolt rear end, and Lokar shifter. The engine is topped with a Casada Speed Equipment Widowmaker three-deuce induction system featuring three Stromberg 97 carburetors on an Offenhauser intake manifold.
