Thanks for the info. The Wikipedia article does reference a rule change in 1968 that limited displacement to 5 liters, and I think that's what I was remembering. I'd be curious to find out more about the different personalities & characteristics of the different models. I had no idea the GT40 went through so many different iterations.

Ernie, did you mean that SAI put the 255 into the FIA Cobras? That is interesting . . . I must learn more. I'll try to check out that book.

Thanks.
