Hi, the CAV is on the way to GT40 heaven and I have recovered enough from my accident to start the build on it's replacement, #2214.
I will be using the 347 and the RBT from the CAV but will be making some changes.
The Superformance allows the use of an original type GT40 Bellhousing (w/ mounts on the bottom) and a smaller flywheel and 2 disc clutch.
The weight of the entire flywheel and clutch weighs 26 lbs which is the weight of just the flywheel alone in my current package. This is available from Safir.
I may not be able to use my Mezier electric water pump but until the engine is in the car I won't know.
Also the CAV was a rod shift and the SPF is cable.
I have benefitted from this forum already as I have found my speedo cable jammed into the speedo and unmoveable at the trans, it would have failed immediately.
I have also been in contact with Dennis Olthoff and have ordered, upgrades for the rear cabin window, shifter, motor mounts and a speedo reduction adapter ( I have a 4.22 rear drive SPF is set up for 3.7).
There are many differences between the 2 cars and I am anxious to get this thing together and down the road.
