Default Here is what I've heard...

I'm sure there are people on here that know more about it than I do but here is what I learned at the Monterey Historics in 2003.

Below is a picture of the lemans winning engine as presented by ford in their booth. I also talked to Lee Holman and asked about it specifically what cam and compression it was running.

His comment was "they were like truck engines" with 9:1 compression and he thought something like the H-M 310 solid cam. I also asked about the valve train and he said it was just stock adjustable stuff, although I think he mentioned upgraded shafts.

Looking at the engine it has a dry sump oiling system, aluminum medium riser heads, and a lemans bowled single holley with no choke sitting on a sidewinder intake. I have a few more pictures of the engine if anyone wants to see them.
