63 vette Grand Sport engine build??

[olredalert]

-----Us guys at Classic Motors in Hinsdale restored Grand Sport #1 way back eons ago. The Webers were #58s. Absolutely huge. You could almost stick your hand down one of the barrels. We had an inside friend at the Tech Center back in those days named Tom T. Im not sure to this day how he did it but he unearthed a complete Grand Sport motor which we used. Later a guy named Jim Purvis owned the car and restored it to how it ran at a later date when Roger Penske had control of the car, so a big-block went in. I have no idea where that 377 cube small-block went. Thats how the car was prepared when it was pictured on the oil filter box. Getting back to Tom T, he left GM years ago and no one I know has seen him in years. He could answer every question you could possibly have if I could just track him down.......Bill S
