Sorry,
Not GT 40 related, but too many experts here that will know the answer. Since SPF 2174 and 2175 are complete, I moved on to another project I had waiting, a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger. The car needed some chassis work so I removed the engine to freshen it up a bit. The owner knew the engine was not the original 260, but I think he thought it was a replacement 260. As I was tearing the engine down, something did not make sense with the 302 casting numbers in the valley, checked bore and it was 4.00 not the 3.80 of a 260. I then decided to check the engine casting to see what I had. The casting code is a C8AM. I have decoded this as a 1968 Motor, from the SVO devision!! What does the "M" code really mean?
