AL,
Those cars were in a spec series so why would TEAM SHELBY care about winning when they ran against each other. I think they were iron blocks with aluminum heads, not sure though. If it is a spec series you usually try to minimize cost where ever possible. I think Bob B. has a Superformance with a small block in it which he really likes and might just influence his opinion.
I see you are in Scotts Valley, if you are out and about Sunday the
25th of May why don't you come by the Marina airport off reservation road.
I will be running an autox there and you will be able to see and hear a fairly quick reving big block. If you have a helmet I can give you a ride too.
They open around 7:00 am, you just need to sign the waver.
