The land of milk and honey! If you can identify what model (specifically engine blocks and heads) something is or what it was in, please tell me!

First, his (was original, before he bought it in 1981 for around $3k) 1968 Shelby GT500 (was a 4 speed with a 428). He bought it with the intentions of drag racing it, but he ended up catching the bug and going all out on it...

For Orlove's Pleasure ®

Car has a 532 Big Block Ford (I think it's a 532, it may be some other displacement, IDK. It also has that big ass supercharger, and runs around 7 seconds in the 1/4 Mile.

On to the other crap!

Hell, he even has a huge car lift!

Bonus Round!

Viper SRT10 GTS ACR at Blacktop Nationals sitting next to a turbo 944!

We also see a wild MidEngineer (mr2tastic) and a (somewhat) domesticated JayhawkJake!

Comment if you feel like it!

EDIT: It is no longer a 534 Big Block Ford, but rather a Brad Anderson Engines block and head with the big ass supercharger!

So did he get rid of the shelby tail-lights? Otherwise that thing is a monster. Ain't no replacement for displacement!

I can't be the only one that hopes minimal body panels are put on the mustang before it is run down the strip.

If one of those Clevelands is taking up too much space... I might know a 1970 Fastback that could use a donation XD
