Hello,
After several contacts with a FORD archivist, I was able to obtain some documents from the 60s about the different GT 40s.
I made a summary but would like the experts to confirm it, or tell me about possible errors.
I have a particular question about the MK I John Wyer P/1075 which won Le Mans in 68 (Rodriguez / Bianchi) and 69 (Ickx / Oliver).
This car had Gurney Eagle overhead cylinders, but the weighing sheets from Le Mans show "ACT" (OHC) in 68 and "culbuteurs" (tumblers) in 69.
Did the Gurney Eagle use overhead camshafts, or a central camshaft ?
Thank you,
Benoît
