A long shot, but does anybody have any information on the specification, manufacture, photos or anything else to do with the twin plug heads [and ignition system] that were originally an option for the 1963 racing Grand Sports?
I can't seem to really find anything much on the net [although I might have missed something], so any help appreciated.
They were apparently designed and built to increase the output of the already formidable all-alloy 377ci Duntov race engine. It was decided not to risk the extra complexity for the Nassau Speed Week, but I believe they increased the power from c485hp to c550hp. Given the Grand Sports weighed in at just under a ton, you can imagine how even more potent these heads would have made the car and all in 1963!
Thanks.
