Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback. I have been in touch with Dave Matthews of SAAC, he is the registrar for the club and he has given me the exact same points as you have. So, they ALL came w. dual Holleys, which explains the comment to that effect that I read in an English automagazine from the period. They were testing the GT-500 and floored the trottle and then they said: "At firt the big V-8 gasps, then the car hunches forward with a loud bellow".

I thought that was hilarious, but the European motoring press made mockery of any claims these cars madu to being sports cars.

Still, I wonder about the exhaust manifolds and the C7AE heads. Dave says they did not have the dual bolt pattern on the GT-500. That leaves me with an anomaly: The pictures of the engine above clearly show a semi horizontal or slanted bolt pattern, instead of the typical vertical FE pattern. Did the C7AE heads, really have the dual pattern?

I am clear on all the issues now, except this one. Thanks again and all the best.
