Not in 1965, there were no L-88 427 engines. Hell, according to NHRA, there weren't even 50 of them two years later in 1967. But no, this guy was there when the car was unloaded. He says it had the reverse rotation cam, gear drive, and trick distributor on it when it rolled in. I can't remember what small part failed that led them to discover it. This guy is pretty sharp, and knew most of the people racing around here back then. No way I can prove it, and he can't either, but I tend to believe him.
