Historic 1968 Can-Am Car -- Engine by JBA Performance

Imagine being at full bore around Laguna Seca’s road course, in a big-block Chevy V-8 powered Can-Am car.

FFR Roadster Receives Supercharger by JBA Performance

1950 Woodie Surf’s Up Shoebox Ford - Rejuvenated by JBA Performance

There must have been no surf on the morning that John drove his 1950 Ford woodie into JBA Performance’s speed shop and customization facility. He wanted JBA’s crew to remove the sweet old original Ford flathead V-8 mill and three-speed manual trans and swap in a ’90 Ford Mustang 5.0L EFI engine and Ford AOD trans from a donor car that John had recently acquired for the woodie’s rejuvenation. Full story >

1964 Plymouth Valiant Convertible, Rebuilt by JBA Performance

Dave brought his rather tired 225 cubic inch slant-six 1964 Plymouth Valiant Convertible into JBA Performance to transform it from a its faithful duty as a reliable runabout vehicle, to a full-on performance hot-rod. Dave reckoned that he owed the ragtop some thoughtful restomodding for all its trouble-free service. Full story >
