You mean IRS? Looks like a straight axle in front to me. Engine isn't symmetrical. Can't see the pass valve cover or header. Either it's a 4 cyl or it's rotated toward pass side.

What appears to be a solid I-Beam front axle, actually articulates at each end.
See the rectangular looking piece to the left of the coil spring? That is a hidden pivot.
Rack & pinion steering.
Ford 427 SOHC, 6-71 Blower, dual inline Autolite carbs. Engine is rotated 40 degrees towards passenger side to fit inside the engine compartment with the side shrouds in place. Owner built Tri-Y tubular headers that were finned & then coated to resemble cast iron pieces. Owner machined his own roller rocker arms. Engine driven accessories (including dry sump oil pump) are mounted alongside frame rail underneath the driver seat & driven by a jack-shaft assembly. Jack-shaft is driven by owner built gear drive sandwiched between engine & trans.
The amount of design, engineering & detail is impressive!
