Yes, that is the same engine. Darin Morgan tells that in the video and also how Neff scoured the country in search of parts and pretty much has the only parts in existence. Ford said they'd build more if people ordered it but.... doubt even 1000 orders would have them cast blocks and heads... Jim Cunningham funded it and they used the Hemi instead. This engine is same architecture as DRCE and much more efficient at the lower rpm than the Hemi. Obvious A lot of work out in the shop and these videos are my background noise !!
As for Clint's 215mph run, I will not go into that but will tell you people will be watching that car closely this year. Not saying illegal but will say numbers disprove physics and thats all I'm saying there! I will say the engine in my ProStart A/DA is the same bullet that holds the NHRA NA speed record when in Bob Books rail. Up 40 hp now though
