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: ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53643144154_baf7bbaf06_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53643020048_02cc680e3a_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53641927777_e8c112d2d1_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53643266845_dc8f3dab56_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr Engine assembled and ready for the weathering ... ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53643144104_3d5b3d3ac7_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53641927742_65e660733b_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53641927762_5eb99697fb_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53642807271_6ae65dcd84_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53643266825_2014342e44_b.jpg) by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr

love it. a guy not too far down the road from me has one of these. painted identical to the show's car.
Fun fact - Paul Glaser personally hated the car, and would bash into curbs and other things when he drove it LOL.

The 460 makes sense to use in the stunt cars but a 400M? Man those things were DOGS!! I'm assuming that this one is a 460 in the one you're using here. lol Lookin' good buddy.

The colour used is the one above ... ![](http://i.imgur.com/FpOfLj1.jpg) . Which colour do you think is closest to the real car?

Looking at pictures of the original series car used and yours, I would say the color you put on this once cleared is pretty much right on the money with color and tone depth

Did you eyeball the red, or did you pull the codes from Ford? Looks pretty spot on to me. take a pic under day light & compare.
