Well I see somethings are not correct...the carb's seem a bit restrictive, and the fan belt will last forever unless dry rot prevails.

I want one for a riding lawnmower.

Looks like a flathead engine.

The chain driven set up looks like some sort of old supercharger.

Just some of what's under the sheet metal of the Beverly Hillbillies truck.

No smog pump?

I'll bet that chain make one heckuva racket.

I’ve always wondered why the old flat head V8 Fords had a single exhaust out of the cylinder head for the two middle cylinder’s. Looking at the exhaust manifold, they look like a V6. And a water pump for each bank!

Probably does. And I bet the entire setup will sound awesome.

Designed in a time looking for cheap, I do believe. Many tradeoffs to control cost I bet.

I recall seeing in Hot Rod magazine, Bonneville salt flat, someone used a reground cam so they could use the exhaust ports for intakes and the original intake ports for exhaust. Better breathing (forgot if turbo or super charged).

Fan belt looks loose. Any lube on that giant chain is flying off in a hurry too! Figures it would have 2 water pumps, Ford is a company that thought 3 electric fuel pumps would be a smart move (twin tank F series)!

Could be an outboard motor engine, 2 stroke.
