You say you can not get a Chevy engine to fit in your car, even a Mustang, no problem.

When it came to the Chevrolet Big Block engine, seems Bill Thomas "wrote the book" on how to get the most out of your BBC.

427 supplement. Notice where this came from.

Only a few pages, outlining the differences between the 396 (which was covered in the first book) and the 427, part numbers, etc.

First time I had seen the '69 catalog. Attached is the 1970 1/2 Bill Thomas catalog. As you can see, he went bankrupt 9/1/71.

Neat stuff, Tom

Any idea if Bill Thomas had a relationship with any Anaheim-area Chevy dealers? One of my cars was sold new at Vern Trider Chevrolet, a little over a mile from Thomas' shop.
