The engine Carrol wanted first was the Buick aluminum V8. Fun fact, at about the same time Shelby was standing on top of Pikes Peak, for The Race To The Clouds, talking to GM reps, Derek Hurlock was also talking to Buick, trying to get their engine for his AC Ace cars. Neither new that there was a third party who wanted the engine, that was of course Rover and we all know what happened next! Talk about several forks in the rode that history could have taken!
