1953 Lincoln engine .
It's a 1957 332 dump truck gear drive reverse rotation cam engine from a F-750 concrete truck with severely angle milled original 1953 317 heads that have been ported and polished a bit.
The intake is an Edelbrock 303-324 olds tri power unit that was milled on the sides to correct the bank angle problem with some bolt holes tig welded and moved to line up correctly and topped with chromed Holley 94's.
Probably the only one like it ever converted as a one piece unit.
The trans is a 55 Lincoln MX 3 speed (with and actual torque multiplying converter to replace the stock GM 4 speed hydro and those are 55 Lincoln dual exhaust manifolds.
After reducing the chamber size by 10 cc with the .095 angle mill she came up right at a true 8.5 to 1 compression.
While they advertised the Lincoln 317 at 8.0 to1, it was measured for real and found to be only 7.5 to 1 with stock steel shim head gaskets.
250HP is the target.
Dusty from sitting.

McLaren M8F 1971
Team McLaren dominated the 1970 CanAm season by winning nine of ten races.
It was their fourth championship in a row.
For 1971 a new model, the M8F was built for Denny Hulme, the 1970 CanAm champion and his teammate Peter Revson.
Chevrolet's big-block power plant was used again, built in house and employing an aluminum block with cast-iron liners.
Displacement was 495 cubic-inches producing 740 horsepower at 6400RPM with 655 foot-pounds of torque.
Reynolds Aluminum produced its own sleeveless aluminum block enabling larger pistons due to the lack of liners.
Displacement was 509 cubic-inches and this power plant was adopted by the team midway through the season.
This car is presently fitted with such an engine. Current horsepower is 744 at 5700 RPM although the red line is about 7000 RPM.
Maximum torque is 698 at 5300 RPM.
Fitted with a Vertex magneto and Lucas/Mackay fuel injection, the engine fires easily and is very loud.
McLaren's engine builder Gary Knutson pioneered a new intake trumpet design featuring staggered trumpets of two different lengths which smoothed out the power curve.
They found their way on Team McLaren engines during the 1971 season.

Big Block Chevy leap year edition is coming to a close, They ultimate continuation of the ZL1 was this 509CI Hilborn injected Reynolds Aluminum engine, one originally without steel cylinder liners.
This 700 HP monster powering the Mclaren Can Am M20 .
They dominated until the Turbo Porsches with 1500 HP in qualifying trim laid waste to the series,
The can am was basically an open formula with run what you brung and a minimum weight.
Some posted lap times faster than formula cars.
