These were all LAT options. Factory approved, but not factory.

Allan,

The factory "hi-po" was the tiger wiht the 4bbl holley and F4B, they also
used the LAT cam options.. as for running hot.. well i gather people who
ordered it went for the LAT option fan. There is a road test in Sports Car
Graphic in November 1964.. the tilte of the article was "red hot sunbeam
tiger", maybe they were not just talking about performance :-P!
