Default Re: The "Official " Can-Am engine thread.

Hello Fellas,
Doug Meyer (no S) here. Those are my pics. I'm a "Corvette guy" now and I originally posted those on Corvette Forum.com.
smallblockhero tracked me down and I gave him permission to use them.
A couple of corrections:
I was not THE engine builder but AN engine builder for the team (no "I" in team ya' know). As I mentioned I was mentored by the great Lee Muir (ex McLaren) who taught me a great deal (and I wasn't too shabby a wrench when he hired me). There were three of us; Lee, Me, and "Stump" Davis.
The picture of the running engine on the dyno is not a Can Am engine,but is a 390 block aircraft engine that Lee and I worked on for about 7 years. It was successful (technically if not financially) and is currently sold as the Trace Engine. (look it up).
The reason Lee and I were chosen to develop that engine was that when Reynold was contacted for engineering they sent the developer to us because only a very few builders had as much knowledge on working with the 390 as we did (and I was a pilot and could fly on the test flights).
Lee Muir know lives in Germany and has done big V-8s over there for the last 35 years.

BTW I need some help- I'm trying to help a friend and I need to get an accurate appraisal on a 2002 GMMG ZL-1 Camaro for a legal matter. Anybody have a suggestion on where to go for that?
