Rick -- I don't think that is the Ford hemi. The 429 "Shotgun" engine was the hemi -- Ford named it the "Shotgun" because they felt it could compete with the fabled Dodge/Plymouth 426 hemi (aka -- Elephant killer). Didn't work out for them because of the HUGH ports, there was terrible low/mid range torque fiqures ... had to spin ther hell out of it to high RPM to get any power.
I should add the engine above looks like the 427 SOHC ... TAZ
