Dan Gurney won an SCCA race with a T-70 spyder/289 SBF.
Pretty sure that's the only race a T-70 won with Ford power.

Someone else (Agipou?) tried the Ford 427 in a
T-70 spyder for Can Am..but too heavy...the all aluminum
big block Chevies dominated Can Am until the coming of the Porsche 917.

If you want to see some great footage of the T-70 coupes
at 1969 Daytona/Sebring races, check out "The Racing Scene".
