Tom Kristensens '59 T-Bird

It says 350 HP on the hood. Do you guys think he's actually running the 350 horse 430 Lincoln MEL engine in this car?
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area but the base engine is a 352, so technically still related to the FE. :)

     Love that video of great old American iron being flung around the course; and you can detect the disdain the Brit commentators had for the American beast, and were glad for the black flag.        >:(

     I believe that at a later date that car ended up on it's roof!      :'(
