Default Le Mans Winning GT-40's 427 FE's

In all the time I've been here on Club Cobra there has been very little discussion of the "specs" of the original Side Oilers used in the Le Mans winning GT-40's.

What compression? What heads? Were those alloy heads? Single carb with center pivot floats I would guess. Con Rods and Crank Shaft used? Compression ratio? How many of these Big Block GT-40's competed? In fact, how many were made?

5 speed transaxle, with 5th being overdrive? What ratio I wonder? Top speed, what 210 or so? Pictures of the engines? When did that NASCAR crank come out and did any of the GT's use it?

So many questions! Got ANY answers?
