I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

The source doesn't identify the motor, but it does mention some Ford and Chevy bits.

If the one in the attached picture is the same, I can read 'Speeders' on its front bonnet; may be the name 'Jan Malmgren' may be in connection with the car
Another picture of the same car shows 'The Scrapster Special' written on the bonnet

The Scrapster Special is correct! LOCKED for you to identify the builder (not Jan Malmgren).
