Twin-Turbo LS-Swapped 1972 Ford Courier Drag Truck
This 1972 Ford Courier, owned by Noel Valdez, has been transformed into a potent drag truck with a twin-turbo LS setup. Originally purchased as a rough roller, the Courier now boasts a twin-turbocharged LQ9 engine estimated to produce around 850 horsepower. Key modifications include a Brian Tooley Racing turbo cam, 243 heads, Holley Hi-Ram intake, and 67mm VS Racing turbos. The truck features a Mustang II front suspension, QA1 coilovers, and a two-speed Powerglide transmission paired with a Ford 9-inch rear end. Weld AlumaStar wheels and Mickey Thompson drag slicks ensure traction, while the mostly stock interior includes racing harnesses and aftermarket bucket seats.
