Is that a Ford Y-Block engine in it?  It's at a tough angle to see the exhaust ports...

I'm assuming the engine is based on an Olds 394...is this car considered an A Dragster?

It is an Olds mill. I'll have to check the displacement and class when I get home.

It's an A-fuel dragster. Don't know the displacement. As a consolation, here's a clue: the Olds mill was later swapped for a Chevy.
