Looks like an old Ford 5.0 V8.

I figure the target for this build was a wheelie machine. Too bad they choked her with such a small aircleaner. How many CFM does that thing flow anyway?

Not that it matters, but it looks to me like a 351 Cleveland Ford (5.8L.) The valve cover to head mating surface shape doesn't look like a Windsor Ford.

It scares me... Would be interesting if someone put one in the back properly though.. If it would fit!

Isetta? Looks more Fiat-ish to me.
What do you suppose will happen when this wretched thing accelerates?

Here's what happens:

Front wheels go up; motor contacts ground; flames erupt; 25 clowns exit vehicle with hair aflame.

I would guess it would go into an immediate wheelie
