Re: 1960's Ford Indy V-8
A great photo from above showing not only the headers but also the complexity of the engines is on the twotogo web site under In-line 2 and also under Inline 1966 to present .

Re: 1960's Ford Indy V-8
I believe this is a single cam version of the Ford Indy engine.

This picture is of the four cam 255 cubic inch Indy Ford V8. The intake ports were inbetween the camshafts and by swapping heads from left to right the exhaust could exit either down for front engine cars or in the middle for rear engine cars. thanks |

Bruce McLaren tried it reduced to 3.0L in about 1966 or 1967. It was not competetive with the Repco engine which was based on another US engine. (GM 3.5L BOP engines as it was called) thanks, Roland |

The Ford V8 used by Jimmy Clark in Formula One was built by Cosworth for Ford. It was not based on any kind of production engine. thanks |

Re: 1960's Ford Indy V-8
Attachment didn't work...
I once had a Cosworth Vega. I guess I'm just a sucker for high winding engines like the Vega and this Indy Ford. I've had some powerful OEM Muscle cars and of course we all wish we shoulda / woulda / coulda kept them, but that Vega still ranks high on my list of those I should have kept (it was almost new condition and I paid $3500 for it). If not so much what it was, what you could do with it. I still say if I won the lotto I would build one for T/S. Heck, maybe Super Stock would be even more fun. That engine and RWD layout has the right hardware and so much potential.
