The engine is a modified 289ci V8. Here is the description from the eBay listing, "Developed for the GT40 campaign, labeled "experimental" and, as far as anyone knows, the only factory-installed Mustang mill of its kind, this convertible's 450 horsepower V8 is a literal fairy-tale of Ford performance. At the top of the balanced, blueprinted and fully de-burred block, a gold, correctly decaled air cleaner feeds wind in to a correct Autolite 4-barrel that's clamped onto fresh steel fluid lines. At the base of that carburetor, a cast iron Ford intake rides between ported and polished Hi-Po heads, which are capped with bright gold valve covers. Below those heads, forged pistons and a drop forged crank combine with solid lifters and a C3 cam to create stout 10.5 to 1 compression. At the front of that cam, a reliable points distributor sequences fire through NOS, date-correct plug wires, which snake around correct Fairlane exhaust manifolds. And at the leading edge of those manifolds, NOS V-belts spin correct ancillaries behind a correct Galaxie radiator. Aesthetically, the jet black small block sits in a completely restored engine bay which features factory decals and smooth, Satin Black paint. And nice pieces like NOS plugs, an actual 'tar top' battery and tri-angulated, Holman Moody-installed bracing provide unmatched authenticity."
