  • PowerBlock's MuscleCar pays tribute to UFC President Dana White and the fighters of the UFC with this step-by-step build of this serious resto mod. Unlike typical celebrity cars made to be looked at, this bad boy is made to be pounded. It has raw Muscle Car power and classic '70s styling, but is improved with state-of-the-art suspension and brakes. The UFC Street Fighter Cuda is one of the most popular projects ever built on television.

    I would give this show 10 stars out of 10, it was so exciting seeing the smile on Dana's face as he saw the brilliance of you guys work. a picture is worth a thousand words, I would love to have one of those 71' Cudas by you guys but I just can't afford it. In 1971 my last year of high school me and my friend Fithard, John Adams High School, in Cleveland, Ohio, Fith took me for a ride in his 440 red Cuda and wow, wow, wow. The only way to return the favor was to take Fitch, and his date, and another couple and his date, me and my date to the senior prom in my dad's 71' light green Cadillac Sedan DeVille, what a day. The Cuda was my highlight, power that massed you back in the seat, i'm 70 now and I will never forget. You guys are truly amazing in your work.

    This video alone earns a SUB from me. UFC is the #1 thing I have been into since 1993 when it started. I was confused by the title UFC Streetfighter because UFC fighters do not fight in the street. There are only a couple fighters RIP Kimbo Slice, and Jorge Masvidal (BMF) that were street fighters before making it to the UFC later on in their lives. Anyway my #2 thing in the world is Automotive. Anything with an engine/motor. Anything you can modify and make perform better. So I will watch this episode and probably many others

    I agree that the 05 on up Mustang rack is better than the Fox chassis's. I have had a 87,90,94 Mustang, I have a 12 and a 20 now. The 12's steering is very good, the 20's is a Track Pack GT so it's steering is about the best I've driven. I kind of wish they would have put the UFC logo on instead of the 440. However, the UFC logo on the seats is very sweet. Keep up the good work, I like the faux carbon and candy paint as well, very nice 'cuda.

    Man, that shell is CLEAN. That rearend is an 8 3/4, not an 8 1/4. That diff came stock in automatic hemi cars and could have easily handled that 425 horse 440. Love the suspension upgrades though!

      very true....altho i think at the beginning of the build they mentioned that it had a slant 6 before and the 8 3/4 rear end....so that could have been why they said that it wouldnt have handled the 440 without upgrading the rear end

      I had an 8 3/4 diff in my Plymouth Duster with a built 440, 5.38 gears and big Goodyear slicks and never had a problem with it.
