The Shocking Truth behind FORDs Banned 427 Cammer Engine! 
• The Shocking Truth behind FORDs Banned 427... The Shocking Truth Behind Chevrolet's Banned 427 Mystery Motor

After the controversial outcome of the 1966 Le Mans, Ken Miles was open about his disappointment and frustration with the orchestrated Ford finish. According to several sources, he commented: “So ends my contribution to this motor race.” This remark was made to express his disillusionment after being instructed to slow down and stage the photo finish, knowing he would not get the win he
deserved. Miles told journalist Brock Yates, “We were told to finish neck-and-neck and that’s what we did. If they’d let Bruce and me race for it, we wouldn’t have had all this nonsense.” This captures Miles’s view that the competition was compromised by team orders and corporate decisions, and that he would have preferred a fair race with Bruce McLaren without outside interference.
Mechanic Charlie Agapiou recalled Miles “bitterly grumbling he’d been screwed,” further highlighting Miles’s sense of having been denied a historic victory. Miles also reportedly commented that the outcome “made it mandatory for any driver who wished to be sure of winning the race with a Le Mans start to start dead last,” criticizing the technicality that cost him the win.
