Damn, you guys are good!
Figured they'd be a few more guesses before someone named it?
"That thing got a hemi in it?"
2.5 liter V8 used in the Daimler SP250 aka: Dart (until Dodge threatened to sue)
a fiberglass bodied British sports car built in the '60s.
Also used in some sedans and limos.
Not related in any way to the Chrysler hemi.

The engine is a whole lot prettier than the car. Here's Leno's Daimler:
