No I can't but i sure would like to hear people hollerin at me ...I have collected Baldwin Motion articles and adds for years and nobody wants to share information likes it's a great kept secret..I really don't understand it and yes most of the info did come from otis's book and I also have a load of old car Magazines from 1969-1978 where alot of the information tells things differently .
It's hard to get the right answers SO PLEASE do correct any Bad information That would not insult me I would like to learn anything and everything about these Awesome cars .
To be honest I figure I would post Information and what ever was wrong would be corrected by someone who knows better..Nothing wrong with that

Did he sell the Porsche 917, I know he had it before the muscle cars, he used to race it, did he keep it.

No got rid of the 850 3 barrel for the 950 Nacsar 3 barrel for the 454's I beleive and the hone a drive was antoher 395.00 in 69 Motion Cars were packages and I said COULD include and i didnt say all of them ...Muncie m22 would get them only if you were to drive the car home 4:88's sure would have been tough on the highway ..The list goes on and on of what could be in those cars

With due repect, from your first post:

a)"the three-barrel carbs were replaced with a large four barrel "....."the 950 cfm Daytona 4 Barrel " ????
Now you say 950 3 barrel ....what about the 1050 3 Barrels that were part of his scheme at times, or anything else on his shelves.

b)"exchange cast-iron for alumunium " infers he replaced heads and even blocks as a regular part of the "Phase 111 "packages. Once more it was how deep are your pockets.

c)"cast iron L-72 same as in the Baldwin Motion Cars "....same bare block maybe, but often cam, heads, intake, carbie, ignition, sump, etc etc were changed from that of a L-72.

d)"with this you got a Hone-A-Drive" ....infers once more, it and the M22 were standard to the Package. Truth is Joel gave you what you wanted, manual, auto Hone-O-Drive etc.In this paragraph I am looking really hard for a "could or may ", and as they are not there the inference is that they were standard.

The theme from the post is that there was a "PACKAGE ". In reality I doubt that any two cars were ever the same.

I don't want to go through the rest of it but the above is not in isolation.

Not having a go at you, but you are part of a trend on this site. In the old days people dropped into this site for unusual rare and above all quality information. The site has a very good reputation. People checking this site, will quote what they see here as a source of facts . General discussion is great but info should not just be colorful and informative but should be factual as possible and not open to misinterpretation.

As I said sorry it was you who put it up, but your post was symptamatic of a trend.

I will now withdraw to the heat and wilderness of central Australia to contemplate my fate.

See it like you must but when you take a Car off the dealers floor or the owners hands and you install a small or large amount of performance parts In a performance shop that the dealer is associated with along with a set advertised price with other options if you choose It's called a package .... Never said any two were the same...But I do remember saying something like "Why not build the customer what they really want and still have a factory warranty"and for the most part No two people are the same ,
Aluminum switched ...Did I make it sound as though something other than engines parts were exchanged ?
Make changes in what my post reads that it fine but please do not Compare me with anyone else
I never said that joel or his crew used only certain parts and nothing else ...Motion Performance had a Catalog and a large one at that ..Motion did superchargers also BUT Not on all Motion cars ! Don't get me wrong.

It may be out of the book but does not mean its correct,
"got rid of the 950 3 Barrell
Went to alumunium....
Not all cars had Hones
etc etc
