I think it's a 427 big block because the outside exhausts come out of the body side where the racing 289s with outside pipes had them under the car. Also the bulge of the rear fenders is more pronounced than in the USRRC or FIA small block race cars. I have also seen a still picture of Elvis standing next to the car. If you see the movie, Elvis is driving the car for almost 30 seconds, in seems, down Pacific Coast Highway when some babe comes along and interrupts him (those pesky women!). I am surprised that, once he experienced a 427 Cobra, Elvis didn't want one for his own...

the car might have been the same one that, when it raced , was known as Ollie the Dragon because it at one time had Webers and would belch flames out the air scoop

PS How did you get those pictures from a movie? Is the quality even better than we see on our computer screens?
