"I'm sorry but what's so special about it?"
SpecialEd34: Some of the other guys on here will be able to answer this better, but essentially, this is a very rare engine developed either by Ford or Holman-Moody, and I think they were built for NASCAR competition, to enable Ford to compete with the Hemi's. I could be way out in left field on that, but I saw that you were asking, and I wanted to put it back out there so one of the other, more knowledgeable, members could give you the real scoop.
I think the heads featured double overhead cams? Since I knew I would never be able to afford one, I didn't pay any attention to them. But I was at a car show a few years ago, and a Ford of about 1964 vintage came through, and sounded like a fuel dragster. When he parked and popped the hood there was a cammer in it. Really impressive and big.
