[Tigers] Ford Small Block OHC Motor (prototype)

[Smit, Theo]

It might be close. the interwebs have lots of info on the bore and stroke of
the UZ engine family (3.7 x 3.4 inches for the 4.7L 2UZ-FE variant) but no
mention of the bore spacing. I'll have to pull out the tape measure and see
what it is in my truck...
