Thanks Ellis, yes I refer to that excellent site quite regularly, including for the article on the Dennis Leech Mustang I'm just finishing off. Wolfgang is a member on here, and pops up from time to time.

I believe so steve, as it had custom made valve covers with "Bob Jane Racing" or something similar cast into them... The 302 TP was a pretty good engine, it just was 'built' poorly by FoMoCo, who wouldn't let Shelby touch them, at the end of the season, SA built their own engines (behind Fords back) and Horst Kwech won pretty much the only race of the season for the team...

Thanks Pauly, and yeah you're right, Ford needed to just let the race teams do what they did best. The same thing happened with the original GT40.
