My GT40 will be back on the road again this month with a new 427 aluminum Dart block, AFR heads, balanced crank, H-rods, fuel injection etc. We have changed rear axles for stronger ones including using Porsche racing universals to handle the higher power. We took the opportunity to completely seal the cockpit, insulate every section and double the rear window for sound and heat suppression. Inreased the radiator and A/C capability. Overall weight remained the same due to engine weight saving. More in a few weeks. Similar work on Roy Sales's GT40, CAV San Diego dealer, has placed his GT40 in top ratings on the tracks.
