Perhaps you have seen a copy of the letter from Duntov to the more senior management at Chevy written in either 54 or 55?
He made a comparison with the easy availability of FORD engines, factory performance parts, factory help, big aftermarket support by specialist vendors to encourage Chevy to get with the program, like FORD, get their collective heads out of the sand and encourage use of their engines. Which letter certainly worked, in spades, when you look at the huge availability of cheaper unit priced pieces from GM today.
Jim Hall certainly benefited from Duntov's thinking and encouragement, as did many others.
But, FORD was first with the mostest, particularly with the thin-walled 225/260/289/302/35, which seriously benefited the thin-skinned CS at the time. Ha! Just to raise the B.P.!
