[Jac Mac]

Im with Rick, #2 is the Leo Goosen designed Novi V8

Whatever it is, the plates in the valley are not safety wired correctly.

ford dohc and novi and I will take it 1 step further and say they are both owned by Tom Malloy as I was just at his shops in Southern Ca. last week checking out J-11

 

[David Briggs]

Everybody is correct, and the engines are owned by Tom Malloy,
The Ford was assembled by Ed Pink Engines from parts purchased from Tom Acker, who used to own my Indy Car, the Stewart Warner Special.
The second is the Infamous Novi, which is an engine that I have never seen before and it is a beautiful thing.
These pictures were taken at Auto Club Speedway (California Speedway) at a Vintage Oval event last week end.
The restoration of my car is moving along pretty well and it will be on its wheels hopefully this week end.
I will post some progress pics then.
