Alot of debate on what a small block Ford v8 is in the comments section.

3500 HP outa 430 cubes is impressive no matter what label you stick on the block.
That’s 500 HP per Litre.

That is a huuuuge stretch to call it a small block ford. It's a complete custom built 430 CI engine that shares zero parts with any Ford engine ever built. So other than the exhaust ports being evenly spaced and maybe a hole for a distributor in the front I'd say Impressive but it's no small block Ford. Plus I would be happy to take that small block ford off their hands when they switch it to a Hemi.

Wonder what the $$ per HP is?
Maybe that old vintage bottle of scotch wasn't as expensive as I first thought.
