Can you imagine what Ford could have accomplished if their forward thinking engine designs weren't outlawed by the racing governing bodies?

the guy in the cowboy hat looks like Speedy Bill from Speedway Motors, he has the largest collection of these kinds of esoteric concept motors in the world. i wouldn't be surprised if he owns one of the 2 cassiopia motors as well as that 289 SOHC motor. i think that 289 SOHC motor may have also been a development mule/prototype/predecessor of the gurney eagle/weslake motor as well.

you have to keep in mind this thing was developed in the 60's, 30hp over a stock hi-po 289 was quite a bit, Shelby even inflated the numbers for his mods to the hi-po for the gt350-s to 306hp, i seriously doubt that an intake, carb and tri-y headers added exactly 35hp to the hi-po's base numbers
