Isn't the 572 a GM crate engine? The little video after of it 'idling' (it's parked, and not running) makes it hard to tell.

Plimpton’s ProCharger supercharged and intercooled 572 cid Ford powered him to an event winning 8.53 @ 163.06 mph! Plimpton was also a finalist in the 2008 DynoMax Power to the Wheel competition where he put down 1,443 rear-wheel horsepower on the DynoMax chassis-dyno.

There is rumor that the motor had been hurt prior to that (unbeknownst to the owner) dyno run and the numbers were low because of that.
