Think it might have been the 215 Olds that was under consideration, Reventlow was playing with them in some Scarabs around that time & there are pics on this site of the cross/flow manifold that Phil Remington had built with four 58mm DCO Webers for one of those. I can remember one of the Scarab single seaters out here for the 1962 Tasman series with Chuck Daigh doing the driving, car was sent to Aussie by mistake ( Not uncommon even in todays world-I frequently have to give geography lessons to Americans who think NZ is part of Australia ) and only did one race in Aust, that car had a bored & stroked 215 olds out to 3917cc according to the entry list. Shelby was also out here driving a Maserati in 1959.
