LOL I thought it was real too the first time I saw the pic!! But that might have sparked the idea for Jim to cast a V12 block!!! That's pretty cool. A V12 HR in a Cobra sounds wicked cool. It must be nice to have a foundry to play in!!!!
Thanks again for taking the time on the cammer writeup. I learned quite a bit from it. Very interesting on the valve cover/rocker difference. I never knew that!! Good to know. I knew about the early prototype heads but not the rocker differneces. I also didn't know the lifter bores were not machined in cammer blocks. Another interseting fact. Wasn't the first prototype cammer block based on a topoiler block molds with wood sideoiler galley planks glued on and small plug details puttied in? I remember reading that somewhere. Casting number was C5AE-G with a Feb 65 date code. I have a pic of the engine somewhere. Also that V12 cammer too I think. Neat stuff.

Not sure on the orriginal block mock up, but that stands to make sence. If you ever saw the FORD photo of the single 4 BBL cammer that has a futuristic aluminum airfilter that looks like the lost in space flying saucer, that engine has early prototype heads with the spark plugs at the bottoms of the covers
