forgot the trailer... bummer
List, all..

Folks, I was not and am not seeking information on the 4 cam motor Ford 
ran in the Indy cars.  My question was about a prototype conversion that 
ford made to a 289 that had a single cam bolted onto the top of a head.

Now, does anyone have any info on that prototype conversion motor?  That 
was the original question.
