I've just seen one of the meanest looking engines on the planet living in one of the ugliest cars

 Well, I just saw this trawling through that perennial time wasting app: Facebook...

From what little research I have conducted so far, it appears to be an 11.5 litre, quad turbo, 2400hp road legal Granada. (Ford Granada, I am guessing, although I have never heard of one. ) 

Here is it below.

Reminds me of a cross between a mkII mustang and a Ford Cortina circa 1980. 

But just forget about the car and gaze at that extraordinary engine.

Legend has it, a Norwegian guy imported a racing Ford engine and bunged twin Scania turbo's from a truck and just for the hell of it, whacked some nitrous in the mix as well. And, you know, why not?

Is that engine porn? Most probably. Pity the heat shielding wrap reminds me of the extra snags I put in the fridge after yesterday's barbecue. 

Gotta admire guys that just take stuff to the nth degree and then some more. Not a fan of the car, and you couldn't actually call it a sleeper with that massive snorkel thing hanging off the bonnet, and it's not so beautiful that it makes people go wee wee's in their Levi's. That is, until they look under that bonnet. 

Think of how nice that engine would look sitting in an F-truck.
