    It definately has room for a 4th Holley!

    Maybe someone could fab a 4 Holley tunnel ram for it!

    The pretty engine in the pic has stock manifold...
    I would love to hear it run with a set of headers.

    I wonder if anyone makes titanium valves for that engine...

    You KNOW it is a Ford...look under the Tank on the 1st video, no less than THREE puddles of oil...Looks just like under my Maverick:D

    Sounds kinda like mine, too (seriously...when my headers are open...)

    This one is an 1830 cubic inch tank engine Jay Leno put in an old car.
    V12, not Ford...
    He sent it to Gale banks and had him fit it with turbos and EFI.
    This is pretty awesome, but I still like the 'smaller' Ford V8 better.

    I don't think he will get it to bolt up to that SBF tranny!
    Guys with 70 models are probably not going to be able to do the swap...
    Not enough room for the tranny! :D
