Installing and removal of an engine at the drag strip hardly constitutes engineering involvement. Particulary when you spin a bearing after 5 runs and are told NOT to open it up. Just ship it back to PMD untouched.
You have got to be kidding. Your going to read magazines as your source of info and rely on Milt's site? LOL, Why don't you just read the "STAR" or "ENQUIRE" for your daily news.

No, "Bobcat" I'm going to listen to YOU, an obviously angry (about something) man who thinks that spouting negative information concerning a man's financial problems constitutes and validates changing the course of REAL history.
Actually, I'd rather read books by Stratham, Zazarine, DeMauro and yes, even Jim Wangers, (read it twice) before listening to you.
As far as the brown Ram AIr V car is concerned: if it was in fact rebuilt as a Ram Air V, then WHY is it one of Milt's "delusions"? NOBODY could get a factory RAV, so Milt found the car and purchased it. He doesn't claim it was a "factory" RAV.
If Milt couldn't race a car, then why was he in Florida, testing the RA V? And if Milt removed a RA-V from that Florida car and installed another one which was shipped FROM PONTIAC overnight after the first one blew, then why would you say he wasn't involved in any aspect of "engineering"? It's obvious that Pontiac engineers trusted Milt enough to ship him a 2nd RAV and let him install it.
And wow... I've NEVER heard of anyone spinning a bearing after 5 runs at a dragstrip! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

I guess Milt's the only guy who's ever done THAT! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Finally, If you have a Bobcat '68 Firebird, I'd say the odds are pur-rrrrrty decent that ol' Milt layed hands on your engine at some point. Or perhaps he even BUILT the whole thing! I mean, he DID work on the performance vehicles at Royal.
And if he DIDN'T, then Steve Stratham, Thomas DeMauro and the rest of 'em are all liars and you, Bobcat, are the new Royal Bobcat Minister of Information.
One more thing: I have met Mr. DeMauro and Milt Schornack. I had dinner with them. Milt has SEVERAL scrapbooks full of photos from his days at Royal. It's funny how a guy who "was not employed there as a mechanic" has so many stories and photos to back him up.
I think it's YOU, not us, who is living in a fantasy world, my friend.
