Steve,
I wonder if the choice to use a 260 VS 289 in the Tiger LeMans cars
was simply a matter of homologation. In 1964, was the "prototype Class" the
same as Formula Libra (open)? I highly doubt it. A 289 engine might have
tossed
them out of competing at LeMans. I bet the rules required the Manufacturers
maintain the same engine displacement their current production car was built
with and at the time the Cobra had advanced to a 289 whereas the Tiger had not.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
