Sorry for the poor quality. My scanner is not working so I just took a digital picture of the original 35 mm picture.

This one shows a gentleman named Bill Smith who gave me a tour of the new Yenko facility in July 1981. He seemed to be the person responsible for the high performance piece of Yenko.

Breaking news ?

My dear high performance friend, Hans (ZL-1) Olsson, found an interesting article in one of my old magazines tonight.
It was in the -86 Winter-issue of Chevrolet High Performance
(Hot Rod Magazine). The author Jerry Heasley talks about Vince Emme and Bill Smith (Yenko´s high-performanceparts manager)and states that "Yenko acquired this tooling in -76". The ZL-1 tooling, that is. I´ll try to scan this properly, in a few days.

I was under the thought that Reynolds and Winters produced these? Winter's is the obvious one! but, where did Reynolds get into this?? On the Can-Am Chaparral & McLaren cars, and maybe GM team cars, where were those blocks produced?
