Guys .... unfortunately I don`t have a working scanner at this time . I`m going through the photos now and will take them to a place downtown that says they can scan them and put them either on a disc or memory stick for me. After that , I should be able to post them .... if I can figure out how to do that !
I read part of the book last night ... the part where the author , Bill Caroll , has a lengthy interview with with Cecil Bowman who prepared Shelby`s engines for "competition running in Carroll Shelby`s Cobras ." " Details were given on how he goes about modifying an engine for maximum performance and what he considers the most valuable techniques for maintaining a high performance engine in raceworthy condition ". Really cool to hear from someone who was involved in the program ..... and hope that the book is accurate .

PS ... the Gordon Meffert car finished 2nd in the B/P race back in November 1971 .
