Kobra Karl,
If you can find one, this engine along with three other Ford experimental engines and the twin-cam Indy engine are featured on the cover of the June 1968 issue of HRM. Accompanying the cover article inside are several pictures of this engine.

A Snake,
Don't forget Colin Chapman and Jimmy Clark blowing away the Indy Car establishment in the Weber topped 255-CID pushrod small-block Ford in 1963. That little sucker put out 376 hp and was reliable at a sustained 7,700 rpm. Clark was going for the lead, but stayed in 2nd to keep from spinning in the oil dropped by Parnelli Jones' Offy powered leading car.
