Hi all, I am JP, 47 years old and just bought a KVA project.
Doing Ford Capri's for years ( resto, modification & tuning ) and owning 8 of them ( and some more Ford stuff).
I am a part time truck driver and the other time I work in my own shop.
My wife always wanted a GT40 and we where looking for one for ages.
Finaly last week we found one we could affort.
Its a '81 reg, KVA with a GT Forté MK2 kit.
Comes with a Rover P6 3500 V8 on a Citroën C35 transmission.
Its a stranded project.
We keep the tranny as there's a company in Holland specialised in them.
The C35 will be beefed up and get a new correct turning CWP ( yes they are available) and a quaiffe ATB diff. Its should be good for 450bhp when we get it back.
For the moment, the Rover engine will stay to. 150kilograms ( 330 pounds) alloy V8 engine could be a good fast handling combination inside a GT40 replica.
We have one of those RV8 engines fully prepped ( supercharged ) in a '73 Capri which goos like stink.
Best regards, JP
