"The T70 remains my all-time favourite racing car." Ditto that my friend.

And written on the side was "Things would go better with a bit more poke".

It seems the engine builder was one Al Bartz, his formula racing engines at that time produced 550 hp. Not to be confused with his Trans Am small blocks. Very complex but interesting story. He previously did 8.5 liter Chevy motors for the same owner, so he was a 'special' client. This was a 'special' motor.

My other favorite.

I think you are right.

One DBR3 was made, but it was not a success. The factory soon changed the engine to a DBR1 item, and it became DBR1/4

Yes, quite hard to find. There was only ever one chassis, which kept being updated.

+Paul Standeven do we know where it could be?

The 2E is in Midland Texas at Rattlesnake Raceway or there about.

I know this is a late reply, but I believe there is only one original 330 P4 in existence, and I'm not quite sure what the owner's policy with it would be.

@@AlastorTheNPDemon 4 actually. One is in progress

@@mikatamminen2786 Alright, that's news to me. I saw a _Petroliscious_ video on the P4, and its owner said that his was the only existing original example - the rest are replicas.

@@AlastorTheNPDemon a Guy I know has had one in progress for years, the spare wheel came from Brian Redman he told me.

James Glickenhouse will argue with you on THAT Chassis #846 330p3/4 is alive and well A big argument with other owners... Pizz off! I was THERE behind the flagman... The striped Red and blue T-shirt, seen nithe mags.. 1-2-3 in 1967... Chris Amon Ludvico Scarfiotti Pedro Rodrguez NART P3... FORZA FERRARI J.C.

even more exotic imo

The one success the T70 Mk 3B had in international endurance racing was at the 1969 Daytona 24 Hours race that was entered by Roger Penske and driven by Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons. I just re-read the section about this Lola model in Donohue's bio, "The Unfair Advantage," where the Penske team did a lot of development work with the Mk 3B to make it competitive with the Porsche 908s, especially so with the suspension springs, where they got a custom set made from the engineering guys at Chevrolet (sshh! Chevy wasn't suppose to be involved in racing at that time). The Penske team won the Daytona race by outlasting the Porsche and Ford GT40s. The Sebring race the car was competitive with the Porsches and a Ferrari prototype, but dropped out of the race with a fail suspension; in part due to the stresses from the Daytona race and the rough track surface at Sebring. Prior to the race the Penske team had concerns about the suspension arms not looking particularly strong. The Jo Bonnier entered Mk 3B also dropped out of the race with a similar problem. The Penske team couldn't race at Le Mans that year because the car and transporter were stolen; where there wasn't the time and resources to make another effort from scratch. Just as well as the Le Mans effort in '69 could have distracted the Penske team from the Trans Am series that year, which could have cost them the championship with the Chevy Camaro.

You want to kill that man?

​@@aydankhaliq2967 Not likely. The vast majority of those cars were powered by small block Chevrolet engines, most of them built by Traco Engineering.

This is the Scuderia Francorchamps car! Kiddies! As SEEN at Daytona and Sebring...1968-1969 I was there! J.C.

How about the Don Yenko 427 Camaro that ran as a PROTOTYPE GT CAR! Sebring 1969 Faster than the 427 'Vettes 3:05 lap time ( like the 1964 275P turned in '64) 9th or 12th OA If memory serves... J.C.

Hi Harald, this isn't a replica.

Goodwood Road & Racing Soooooorrrry😊

Like you know what the engine has in it , give us a break buddy.

63GTDriver I do actually. This is the ex jo bonnier car running a Chevrolet 302 as they all did in period . and I know the horsepower figures because I know the guy that dyno runs these engines for the masters series.

It'd be pretty interesting to know what exactly they put in this thing, but 650 HP would be quite a stretch for a normally-aspirated five-liter V8 of the era. That was the level of power the Porsches and Ferraris were achieving with the 917 and 512, and it's why they started to leave the others behind.

Justin Simms i doubt the naturally aspirated ferrari and porsche had that much, but definitely more than this, but the turbo 917/10 and 917/30 had ridiculous power.

Fair point. 650 HP is just really difficult to do with a carbureted, normally aspirated five liter engine that you expect to last any length of time. I think Penske and Traco Engineering claimed 600HP for the V12 engine in their Ferrari 512M.

A few on here wondering also. New 5 liter components, a 429 Ford Boss originally at about 490 cid in Lolas, or they changed fuel. I wish he had shown the motor. Doubt it was a 427 SOHC (619-645 hp), but 650 seems out of reach of the stock motor. This motor is really free revving and responsive too. I am betting broad range power big block.

@@andykerr3803 he states its a 5 liter. I've built 5.0 liters.. 650 hp is a bit ambitious .

@@fredmertz1791 Hi Fred, I did agree of course. There is lots of tricks available today, even fuel changes. Quite a few commented on here. Some guys knowing their stuff, some not. I only built up big blocks to any degree. Of course the European ruling body made them illegal, but I believe it was only for 1970. Check the comments here again. One gentleman knew the car (at one point in time) and said it was a Chevy small block. Again, it's only an opinion of mine, but this car was raced and won in a vintage class. It is supposed to be original. I don't believe so. I do know Chevy's pretty well, and even though you'll see Smoky Yunick poking around the pits in these videos... 650hp? It just ain't so, Joe. ;-) At some point for drag racing, with all the power up high... Maybe. It's no accident they didn't show the motor, even eith covers on, it could be a 3 valve motor. I think the owner wanted to win races and save money. Fords cost serious money. Some original cars did have up to 8.5 liter V8s based on the Chevy or Boss 429. The 427 SOHC Ford was around but not sure if it ever found it's way into these... Fun to speculate! It made between minimum 619 HP up to 645 in another version. I did come across the original owner's car, it may have been a second one... Wait :-) His name was Bonniers, or close to that... Cheers 🍻

@@fredmertz1791 So, I checked out Jo Bonniers car in 68. It did have an 8.5 liter Chevy that he wanted even bigger. His engine builder was one Al Bartz, a real super talented guy. He actually made a 304 cubic inch cross ram motor that GM only put in Canadian Pontiac Firebirds. These were super successful in Trans Am racing. It is a sure thing that if Jo were a client for the big blocks, he would have had him do a small block. His small blocks were also used in Formula racing. He was a specialist in heads, they usually looked like stock cast iron and actually did put out 550 hp back then. There were a lot of connections obviously, to GM, top builders, he worked for Traco and Hillborn, but was considered to have the edge on them. So many brilliant drivers used his motors... He was considered the best kept secret. So certainly 600 hp would not be a stretch, and if they found 'better' fuel and modern upgrades in material and mods... 650 hp might be possible. For sure that motor is an absolute museum piece on its own. Wish they said more. I might contact the present owner as I found the actual machinist that did the porting. I am guessing they focused on "swirl" more than just straight volume flow... Cheers Fred 🍻

375GTB my Dads 302 in 1970 made more than that on the dyno. Mind you it was running close to 13.5:1 but it made close to 520HP with fully ported heads and 900cfm carb turning 8500rpm. But I guess what ever the rule book states your limits for the engine are directly limits your HP.
