As explained in the video, it is based on the classic Hemi design, and is all major sanctioning bodies legal, so there would be a distant family resemblance, how different can you make a V-8 engine block look? but the engine has been completely redesigned from the bottom of the pan up. The block, heads, intake etc are all CAM billet aluminum.

Those guys have been around a long time, doing some great work. When we ran our big block open wheel modified we had Jim Oddy building our motors.

Yes, Mike's father started Jan-cen quite a while ago, now into 3rd generation. Jim O. was another good racer/builder from the area. Before Jim retired there was a friendly cross town rivalry with Mike J., especially when Jim was running a ProMod car. Jim retired from driving well before that tho, but Mike has always and still does his own driving.
