Default Re: Who knows about the Mk II motor? (re: Bill Thomas)

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 442w30</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Spoke with Bill Thomas III today. Don't have the answer I'm looking for just yet, but he's got a wealth of information.

The Mark I-IV engine story can get somewhat confusing, but this is what I think it is:

Mk I: The motor in the Z11
Mk II: The Mystery Motor, which was a prototype of sorts to the Mk IV
Mk III: Never produced
Mk IV: The production BBC that came in 1965 </div></div>

Minor corrections:
The MK-I included all the 348s and 409s, and also the Z-11
The MK-II was the mystery motor at 409 cid
The MK-IIs was the mystery motor stroked to 427 cid
The MK-III was only on paper and never developed.
