Well I'm admittedly HORRIBLE at recognizing engines, but I'm the only one online so I'll take a shot

Clearly it's a V8-- both by the shape and the number of spark plug wires. The serp belts means it's a later model engine (as opposed to V-belts)... So I'm assuming it's either a 302/351 Windsor, or a 460. I couldn't tell you any of the physical difference between those engines in terms of structure. I always recognize the 460 by the fact that the throttle body intake ports don't face towards the grill like the windsor engines. With no throttle body on there I can't tell

BUT! That pulley configuration looks pretty drastically different from my 351w... So I'm putting my bet on it being a 460. That's my uneducated guess

yupp its a wide engine!!

Looks like a 385 series engine.
i'd put my money on a 460.

If it is original to the body style, it would definitely be a 460, and not too many convert to the 335 series... definitely not a 302 or W, way wrong looks, and too big. Looking at the exhaust manifolds tells it to be at a minimum a 335 or 385 series, my money is on a 460.

its a 460. the only reason i say this is because the sorta oddly shaped valve covers. also the ford is for also show cause you can see in the pics there are 2 power feeds for 2 amplifiers for a sound system. if you need 2 amps that sound system is huge and heavy.

It's definitely not a Windsor so lets hope it's only a 351M or 400.. cause it lost to the chevy.

Jergen.. was that filmed local to you by chance? I have never seen a more reckless display of idiocy in my whole life... kids walking across the "racetrack" in front of staged cars, people standing on the pavement and hanging all over the cars. Where is the common sense here, I'm surprised there isn't a clip of a pile of people getting mowed down by an out of control car. The behavior here is beyond stupid, it's roulette.

exactly what i was thinkin'!appears to have a stock intake on it even,which is crap.a pre-71 timing chain and a stealth intake and that chevy would be wondering what the hell just happened!

A stock Fosixy isn't meant for racing its meant for pulling Chevy's side ways through mud.
