Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
The OHC 421 tri -power in Mac's car was a gift to him from GM after he retired. GM was going to scrap it along with others that Mac had built. There where several peices missing when Mac go the engine. The whole thing had to be rebuilt prior to installatiion. Many leaks. Mike Cimoli worked on it and found that the cams where on the wrong side. Corrected problems and ran ran like a champ. Mac continued to try different exhaust breathers etc. The '63 GP was reasently repainted. 2-3years ago.
I spoke to Mac this past Saturday. Do to his health he is not very comfortable. Pacemaker, lower back problem (failed low back surgery 10 years ago), and now burning feet. He can't function without much pain. He's most upset that he has'nt been able to work on his cars in 10 years.
Did you know Mac took a course in body work about 11 - 12 years ago? He was restoring a 1966 GTO convertible.
He is one of the most modist people you'll ever meet.
