Steve,

Tony Palmer (TV Commentator) getting it wrong with Rob Kennard's Cortina describing it as a 'Cortina Chev'. Blasphemy!, the Cortina as a race car never was powered by other than than a Ford. At the time of this video I recall it as being a 346 cu in based on a 302 SVO block with a stroker 3.4" crank and Gurney Weslake heads. Previously Rob had run a Gurney Weslake headed 366 cu in Cleveland, but the SVO block engine was lighter and more reliable.
