AFAIK there's no manifold for ITB's for the later Ford motor, and the 8 stack in the back window is a lot of the looks of the car. Although you are correct 300hp is adequate with a 2200-2400 lbs car.

I built my GT40 over a period of 7 years for about 8K per year, and this was with all the best stuff, could have been done for less.

Most GT40 replicas are built from donor cars, but from several not just one. For instance engine, transaxle, suspension all from different cars.
