I dont think Hayden Proffitt was ever in a T-Bolt. He went from 421 Pontiacs, to409 and Z-11 Chev , to Plymouths (max wedge and Hemi, then to a 65 SOHC Comet and on into topless Corvair funny cars. AMC funny (Grant Rebel) cars to but I dont ever remember a 64 T-Bolt. Anyone have a picture of it if he did ?

I did get a pic of Ray Paquet's motor at Indy last year, but he told me not to let it get on the net cause you guys might learn all his secrets. : )

Correct. Hayden ran Mopars in 1964 and never had a T-bolt.
