Looks like it might be set of Ardun Hemi heads on a Ford ...flathead...?engine...hmmm.

I would guess this is a racing engine. Headers gave it away.

I believe it is the Ardun flathead.

It's an Ardun overhead -valve conversion for the flathead Ford. These heads featured "hemi" shaped chambers and are pretty pricey today!

That was created by no less than Mr. Zora Arkus Duntov, the father of the Corvette and most of the mid-fifties Chevy performance stuff. How did Henry let this guy get away? Can you imagine what the Thunderbird would have been? The only "corvettes" would have been in the British Navy.
