Default Re: Who knows about the Mk II motor? (re: Bill Thomas)

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 442w30</div><div class="ubbcode-body">A friend asked me if I knew anything about Bill Thomas' involvement with the Mark II 427 motor. A member of this site hooked me up with his son, but no dice. As the knowledge base here is rather robust, I was curious if anyone had any leads? I've read a bunch of sites and threads on the motor, but not much about a possible connection, which also may involve Mickey Thompson.

On a related note, if you know of a good site that lays out the Bill Thomas story in general, I'd love to see it - there's a lot of scattered info, almost like he's been kept behind the scenes like it seemed he was back in the day.

Thanks in advance! </div></div>

My dad made the rocker arms, guide plates, valve covers and oil pans for the Mystery motors while he was a die maker at Chevrolet Flint Manufacturing (Pressed Metal Divsion).

The only non-GM supplier he mentioned sending parts to was Smokey.
