I don't think so with the intake runner spacing. Plus the distributor up front and water outlet looks like a BB Ford but the water pump inlet looks GM.

Vnemous is correct, it's a C+C Motorsports aluminum block, SVO headed 605ci Ford that belongs to a long time friend

Mike,
Thanks for the kind words ..

It was great speaking to you at the Suwanee ... But how come the camera made me and DaveMVegas look ten pounds heavier .. and you looked the same as always ..

Last I heard they was hiring "Stig" away from "Top Gear" to be the wheel man ..

Spoke with Rick today on a different topic. Conversation drifted to the record attempt and I was impressed with his teams approach. They don't know everything and admit it but are using all art and science available to make it go. Rick was also quick to give credit to others. They will do well.

Well said.

The inner frame structure is done ! ! !

It's time to move onto making mount's, tab's and brackets for all the sub systems ...
Seat, steering, pedal, dash, switch panel, halon bottle ..
Gordon want's to do separated , Dzus'd in carbon fibre bulkhead compartments for the Fuel cell and pump as well as an "electronics" section. I have to step back and look at it every once in a while to make sure it's not an Indy car we're building ..
