Not much says America more than one of our 572 Imposter series Big Blocks. This engine is designed to have the look, sound, and feel of a methanol dragster but was designed from the ground up to be able to drive around city streets and wake up the neighbors. The throttle response on this thing is insane, and the overdriven idle will have you dancing in the car. The last Imposter we built ran 8.0 in the quarter-mile yet is docile enough to go to the burger joint.

After making their 4 cam racing engine for some years Ford got A J Foyt to take care of selling and supporting it. Notice the cam cover saying Foyt rather than Ford. This continued until the point where everyone was using Cosworth engines.
The current high performance Ford V8 you can get for your Mustang, etc. is named "coyote" in A J's honor.
