Not aware of that ever happening. Would love to see any printed proof that supports that theory. No doubt there was corporate interference on some levels, but not at the level mentioned. When support transitioned from Wyer to Shelby, the cars started winning.

Thanks John. If you find anything relevant, would appreciate you letting me know, Marty

Ford shipped ready to install 427 engines to the teams running Mark II, B, Mark IV. Most of the engines were recorded by valve cover ID, race reports will usually show valve cover ID.  I'm only dealing with 427 engine, built by Ford Triple E engineers and shipped to teams for install. Appreciate all the responses, marty

Been there, done that! He's not responding to his personal email addresses.

Working on it.

Thanks Pal for the nice words. Just an old analog journalist trying to survive in a digital world...and having fun doing it, Marty

Thanks. Lee is a friend, and will run it by him, marty

Trying to figure out if, in addition, to ID number on valve covers, engine blocks were stamped on front area "pads" with numbers to match for tracking and positive ID? Since valve covers can be switched accidentally or on purpose and valve cover labels could disintegrate, thinking there should be a positive way to track engines. Any feedback would be appreciated

Doing research for book I'm writing on Roy Lunn. Typical valve cover ID photo attached
Thanks, Marty
