My reply to this thread is a bit late because I'm still catching up after a=
fantastic Tigers United. The chairs did an awesome job and it was a great=
event! The 45 minute compilation DVD for participants was really a work o=
f art. Look for all the info and pics in the next STOA newsletter.
As for the 260, Gordon Chittenden ran his 260 for three years and the faste=
st time I've found was 12.56 on 5 inch rims and 1967 rubber. Of course tha=
t was with a Performance Associates rebuild and different gearing, but stil=
l a 260. As that is what it ran, we will be building a 260 for that car fo=
r the restoration.

Allan, to be honest, I can't imagine one reason to run a 260 based engine =
in a Tiger, except if the goal is winning concours. The idea of running a s=
troker 260 (even if only 302 crank) makes even less sense, as the lower end=
of the block needs to be machined/notched and you still end up with not mu=
ch capability.
The "245hp" 260 might have been a gross number, on a good day, with a tailw=
ind...an honest 245hp from a 260 is likely going to need somewhere in the 6=
500rpm range to happen, with correlative loss of power under the curve. :)
Just my two cents, but not really wanting to stir this pot-
Mike
