Hello Dave,

I think I remember this car being for sale back then. What month did you buy it?

Thanks,
Greg

I still don't understand why an open chamber (074) cylinder head is being used on this engine, when all the 1970 big block L78/L89 production engines would have used a closed chamber (842) head and piston combo to come up with the designed 11.25:1 compression ratio?????
What am I missing here???

Well, if Brian Henderson of the Supercar Workshop is vouching for this car and it's authenticity, then that's enough for me and a lot of other people. The auction house can and probably will use Brian's inspection and approval to help market the car to interested buyers that might just need that little extra piece of proof.
