Is it me or is this guy using a small block Chevy V8 in this P51 Mustang replica?

I would have thought a V-8 would be a bad choice because of rev limits and weight. However it damn sure looks like a V8 to me. Oddly enough it's also sitting in the normally forward position. I would have thought using a typical V-8 like that would require the engine to be turned backwards.

I know here in Florida small block Chevy V-8's are pretty commonly used on air boats. Just seems oddd they would use one for a plane.

you can see more of the plane here
