This might be interesting to research.
LAT options were shipped to the UK; new 260's ordered from Ford were dismantled
at the factory, an aftermarket cam was installed along with an aftermarket
manifold and carb, then the car was shipped back to the US and warranted?
Interesting concept.
Norm, what do you think??

While they are LAT options i belive the factory offered a 245 version, and
it ran the 4bbl and edelbrock manifold with the revised cam. think the
factory list might be on the tigersunited site as a scan of the racing
options
