Did any of you see this sell...it was at $110K when they went to the next car.

This is my question about the engine. It was advertised and announced as having a 292 GMC engine. It still had the 3 sidedraft Webers on it and with the Jimmy being a longer engine and the manifolds not interchanging I don't think it was a Jimmy...OR a stock Chevy 292 head. The intake wouldn't fit either one so was it a one off custom intake on a bored/stroked 270 GMC or what? This thing was running races in the late 50's-early 60's before there was a 292 Chevy engine.

Any ideas?
Incidently, it ran an 11.97 1/4 mile as it's best time.
