RE: Fox? Tower? what is it?
The engine is definitely a Fox. Fox engines had the tall rear cover because it made it easier for them to machine the internal bypass ports in the case. That was how they implemented Schneurle porting when it became popular in the 1970's, and it allowed them to have lower production costs.
Fox also used that unique flat plate upon which they mounted their carburetors. Duke Fox believed it allowed a better seal.
