Yes, that's a Ford 302. For $50K I'd sure hope for more than what's under the hood, too! Looks like stock valve covers, so stock heads, and the intake looks like a Cobra intake... I'd have at least thrown a Edelbrock or something on there!

And yes, I agree -- UGLY! Almost as bad as those Mercedes Gazelle kit cars with the VW engine in the rear, or the ones with the Pinto running gear. Yuck!
