All:
Note that the Granatelli 300F is one of the 400HP 4 speed cars. As far as
I know, it has never been determined which one.
Also regarding the 300C Silent-Flite viscous drive fan. It was standard
on all 300Cs, AC or not. Both the AMA specs and the 300C Service Manual
Supplement agree. The non-AC 300C did not use a shroud. The fan diameter was
18". Blade spacing differed AC to non AC, but the number of blades was 6
in all cases. Whether or not "substitutions" ---wink-wink---were made, I
don't know, but Chrysler's intention was a Silent-Flite fan for every 300C.
300ly, Gil Cunningham

The twin supercharged 300F is pretty well documented if you go on Google.
Andy set a one way record of almost 190 mph on the beach at Daytona during
the flying mile in the 'experimental' class.
