Here’s a couple shots of the cambered rear ends we’ve been building for ’05+ American Iron cars. We can set them up with or without ABS, and with any caliper. The housing has Steeda adjustable panhard brackets and Steeda adjustable lower control arm mounts.
We have successfully run this setup in multiple cars for multiple seasons. Call us for details on this project.
Paul’s Automotive Engineering had the opportunity to install one of the first MSD Atomic EFI Systems.
We installed this system on a customer’s ’69 351 W Mustang. The return-less system was a breeze to install, and fired up on the first turn of the key. We plan to put some miles on it this week, but we are extremely pleased with the driveabililty and cold start so far.
This is the cleanest EFI retro-fit that we have used to date, and expect it to be very popular with our customers.
Some other things we did to the car include PAE built 351 W, 5 speed conversion, PAE weld-in sub-frame connectors, Maier Racing shock tower brace and Panhard Rod.
In their Technitron Rotary Table Interfacessponsored Mustangs, the father son team of Paul and Brian Faessler of Paul’s Automotive Engineering, wrapped up their NASA AI and AIX season by winning both championships in their NASA Great Lakes region. 
The cars were designed and built out of Paul’s Automotive Engineering’s Blue Ash based shop. Brian’s car was a gift from Ford Racing.
Brian Faessler, in his first full season of racing, is an Archbishop Moeller High School graduate, age 20, Engineering student at the University of Cincinnati, ran in the extremely competitive American Iron (AI) class where American pony cars (Mustangs, Camaro’s, Firebirds, etc..) compete against each other. The class is based on a strict power to weight system of 9.5lbs/rear wheel horsepower (RWHP) with a max of 18”x9.5” wheel, as well as a wheelbase and track-width limit designed to equalize the different makes and models.
Brian’s car started as a 2010 Body-in-White (bare shell) Mustang which Ford Racing gave to PAE at the end of the 2009 race season. With a bare shell, Brian started by removing 300# of unneeded metal and braces from the uni-body, while his dad Paul designed a complete custom suspension and integral roll cage. The car is powered by a 2012 Boss 302 engine that is capable of over 430 wheel horsepower (approx. 500 flywheel horsepower, although it is restricted to 350 rear wheel horsepower for his class).
In Brian’s 13 race season, he scored enough points in 12 races, with 6 wins and 4 seconds, to secure the NASA Pro Racing’s Great Lakes regional Championship, which qualified him to compete in the National Championship held at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. He finished 6th in the championship race, which was a great performance for a 20 year old in his first National Championship race.
Paul, a St. Xavier High School and BSME grad from the University of Cincinnati, runs his 1965 Mustang in the American Iron Extreme (AIX) class which has few restrictions, including no limit on power. Paul’s ’65 Mustang, which he car-pooled to UC in where he earned his BSME in the late ‘70s, has a unique Paul’s Automotive Engineering designed turbo system which can produce over 800 RWHP. In Paul’s 10 race season, he had 7 wins and wrapped up his 4th regional AIX championship early as well.
Paul finished 2nd to PAE’s customer Chris Griswold at the National Championship race in September. Paul and Chris have won the last 4 National AIX Championships (Paul 2008, Chris 2009-2011) all utilizing PAE’s unique turbo system, making for 6 consecutive AI and AIX National Championships for Paul’s Automotive Engineering prepared and supported cars.
We recently finished a Fox body 5.0 Coyote engine swap with air conditioning, power steering, power brakes.
We pulled it off our dyno on Friday (415 rear-wheel horsepower and 389 rear-wheel torque) and drove it to Putnam Park Road Course on Saturday morning. Over the 170 mile drive to the course, we averaged 25 mpg at 80 mph. We switched to Kuhmo DOTs, and ran 1:21 flat in traffic, and drove it home on Sunday.
All we can say is that this is an awesome combination that will become more and more popular.
Stock 5.0 with BBK long tube headers and custom PAE tune.

This is a father/son project that Paul’s Automotive Engineering is helping with. Dan and Dan Rosenthal (long time friends and customers) decided to do a project car together and we decided that building it in a corner of our shop would be good for all. Read More
2011 has been a busy and exciting year so far at PAE. The shop is packed full of customer cars, and interesting projects. We are keeping the dyno wheels turning, [...]
