Gents;
I was the crew chief for two Type 61E FFs at the 1975 June Sprints where Randy Townsend in his 917/10-015 decimated Jerry Hansen's M8-F, as well as everyone else in the field. It was the end of the Can Am series, as the Porsche's HP, aero, chassis design and handling characteristics obsoleted EVERYTHING else.
I really miss the guttural sounds of the BBCs as follows:

The aluminum 495CI block produced 740HP at 6400RPM, 655ft-lbs of torque. Reynolds Aluminum produced sleeveless aluminum blocks with a displacement of 509CI, 744HP at 5700 RPM, although the red line was 7000 RPM. Dyno tests have seen these engines breathing comfortably at 7800RPM.

Hi Guys
This is my ZO6 that I am selling on CL. I am looking for a good home for it as it is a really great original car. This car spent most of its life in southern California as a daily driver. Never raced so it has all of the ZO6 parts in place never removed. No roll bars or body modifications either. The auction company's have been calling very week wanting the car but I want to sell it privately. So if you know of anyone looking for a rare SWC pass my information on to them.
For information, 1963 ZO6's came with the standard 20 gallon fuel tank and the 36 gallon fuel was an option after December 1962. This is a February 1963 built car with the 20 gallon fuel tank. The radio was also available as an option on ZO6's. Heaters were standard equipment in most cases.
Thanks to the forum for all of the great wealth of knowledge that is past on to all of us.
