That's nut's cramming all that into one of them. There is not a lot of space in those engine compartments. They were a good engine, I have some experience with them (worked in a corvette specialty shop for a few years) and the only common thing to go wrong was bad intake gaskets, that I have seen. At the track they can go 12's easy on street tires, and they ran hard for their day. Not many of them though because of their $75k + price tag.

O.k guys I gave a tech member the wrong info on the picture i posted. I told him the picture was in a 32 roadster but it was in a 48 chevy truck. The yellow truck in the background is the truck it was in. Sorry agian, this is the link where i have the photo.
