My gosh!...Finally a place in this forum where civilized people can't speak to one another with their own opinions.

BTW, speaking of FE's, today Rem went through some of the mods which were needed in order to make the old Nascar 427 work and live in the MkII's for LeMans. The two motors are completely different animals. The motors for the MK II's were really detuned and modified both internally and externally to make them fit into the Ford GT. Their biggest fear was that Chevrolet had their BB producing alot more HP and was much more reliable in the Chaparrals. He said that if the Chaparrals had gone to a manual trans instead of the semi-auto, Ford would have never won LeMans either year...that's how dominant they were.
