Those appear to be the later turbo Offies with the larger cooling area for the exhaust valves. And they have the newer magnesium cam boxes as well.

Any info on this car Rootie?

Don't recall seeing knock offs on what appears to be American 5 spokes.

 

It's John Mecom's Zerex Spl. that was funded by King Hussein of Jordan and driven by A.J. among others.

 

Thanks Rootie

 

Rootie, what size hemi is that?

 

426, it was basically a 1964 Dodge NASCAR engine.

 

Must have been a hand full with that short of wheelbase.

 

I'm sure this is innocents, just adjusting the valves.

 

We have to tighten it down...... No matter what that is, maybe a spoke... Laughing, yeah that's it.

 

It's the snake on a chain. See, nothing has changed, we are still crazy.
