Yep, his modified crank to have two pistons up and two down (like a in-line boxer engine of sorts) ran like stink!

From what I've read, the mill shook like a mother, but ran like a raped ape.

This rig using his own specially ground cam to take advantage of the new firing order and his own updraft intake and carb set-up put a lot of the exotic racers to shame.

Ed Winfield was a true genius in the purest definition of the word.

That head was more than likely made by him and not Gene.
