Lynn,
Great idea, but expensive if I have to buy a 300gt then a Porsche just to get my pieces [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Seriously, there are some of those cars around but as they are very rare and expensive I am afraid ( I´m sure) that there are no spare parts. When they break you have to import the new part. Any way I will check with my family back in spain, as the aftermarket there is huge.

I have done some research and found that the highest models of Audi 100 came with rather good engines; Audi S4 has 5 cylindres, 20 valves, supercharged, 2200 cc and 169 kW (230 CV), the other one is V8 4.2 and 206 kW (280 CV). If they fit inside the GT40 you can use the audi trans with no adaptors and maybe even the clutch. By my prior threads you may have discover that this is the aproach that I have in mind.

Hope to see you in August.

Javier
