Piece of History - Heard of these but have never seen one: Ford 1100 C.I.D.
This is just sitting in the middle of the floor of the paint store I was at today: Incredible looking engine!

Ah yes, there are quite a few videos of those engines.
The one in the Mustang was idling way to fast. Some of the videos have them idling at a more reasonable rpm. One was idling so slow you could almost count the cylinders as they fired.
Being a 60 degree V8 they have a sound of their own.
KenIf there is a hard way to do something, I'll find it!
My other car is a Vega.

Yeah, the thing is just impressive in person. Kinda ridiculous in a Mustang but each to his own.

Wow that thing is pretty sweet. I'd love to have something like that sitting around just for the heck of it.
