Thank's for the great video Ron. I think it's amusing looking at guys building race cars that have greasy hands, wearing neckties and vests.

Neat stuff, especially the round fuel tanks mounted on top of axle .
Prob why tails are so high.

Are they front wheel drive? All wheel drive?

They were front wheel drive using a two speed transaxle, and that’s why there were no water pumps in the heads, the heads are turned around and the pumps could not be belt driven. The cast aluminum oil pan had a cooler and the exhaust manifolds were free flowing cast iron headers. I think that pretty much sums up what is known about the engines.
