Well..the fact is all racing V8 blocks used fingerports. Not sure why he said so. Sometimes OMC also changed powerheads between drivers to prove every powerhead was very close in horsepower.
Here is a picture of the pistons and you can see the smaller holes for the fingerports.
If there was any testing for more horsepower Jimbo was the driver to do so.
