Does anyone know this car? I need to know more about the engine. It looks like a blow-through and injected.

I have the same photo on my phone. I walked around for several minutes trying to find the owner to learn more about this.
I also noted no distributor; wonder if it has a crank sensor for firing the spark.

Most likely. I do. 
I am more interested in the "hats" and intake tubing. Also, what the heck are the lines fanning out from that block in the center?

Those lines caught my eye as well. At first I thought it might be nitrous, but it looks more like vacuum lines. Since they at least go the base of each carb in the manifolds, but some of the other lines are hard to tell where they are going.

Looks to me that it is using carbs. Fuel supply and return are hard lines. Also likely a hard line from both sides sending vacuum to the boost sensor on a central manifold controlling the boost bleed valve.
