Ed, I'm guessing it's a Jensen from England with a 440 Mopar factory installed ala Cobra. We have a couple of them around here, but they're different years from this one.

Where is Lead East held?

Parsippany Hilton......right on Rt 10 west. Route 287 is just down the road.

Terry Cook once did a little feature story for the magazine he was working for (Car Craft or Hot Rod). It was about engine building or engine shops. I worked at Tony Feil's in East Hanover.....just down the road from Parsippany....Terry Cook came in and spent some time in the shop and was a real entertaining guy.....He was shooting pictures and kept flashing us in the eyes on purpose and was always looking to get some laughs going......

He also sold Tee-Shirts at one time that promoted Turtle Racing.....the organization was known as
F.A.R.T. Fraternal order of Racing Turtles....:)


I graduated from ......Parsippany High School.......

and I agree that yellow engine looks like a big Cadillac.......they were very popular just because they were big cubes.....Early Buicks were Nailheads.....Valve covers went straight up.....

Great Pictures Ed. That early Hemi looks a little like an OLDS engine with some fancy exhaust setup and clever valve covers!
