Jon, I did some race tuning on a Datsun 240Z with three DCOE 40 Webers on it, back in 1970 when the 240 was a brand new design. The owner of the car was an IBM contractor on Okinawa, working for the department of defense, and he had more money than sense. The only street mileage the car ever saw was the trip from the dealer to his home shop, where the race modifications began. The next time the thing ran was at the Grand Prix of Macau. Somehow, the car managed to hitch a ride from Okinawa to Macau on a USAF C-130! A couple of years later, I built a Ford 289 engine for a Sunbeam Tiger that also competed at Macau. I had already gone back to the USA by then, but my engine got installed in the car after I left, and I heard that it did pretty well.
