Custom ground up build

NON GT40 car build, but a custom one off style build.

I have been slowly planning my build for a while now. This will be a strictly track car, I am trying to build the car to meet several goupes specs all at one time, will explain more as I get into the chassis building and design stages. I figured I needed to settle on my engine and drivetrain choices first and then build out from there. I have placed my order with a engine builder/ retailer, a few freinds and family members have had good luck with in the past.

Here is the basics parts or build specs for the engine.

Dress up items used-- Leathal Performance Hydro Carbon Valve covers, with
matching coil covers, custom black anodized accessory mounts with matching pulley

Will post more info as I get it and as I get more parts and supplies as I start the rest of the build.

I have not made a lot of progress on getting things togeather for my build as of yet, my everyday job has gotten in the way for the past few weeks.

My plans on this build is to gather most of the major components before I start the actual build and design process so that way I have the need parts for the mock up stages.

The the basic longblock is built and being prepared to be shipped in a few days. I have placed the orders for most of the turbo systems components and other engine components for the build, I have also place my order for a transaxle. I have decieded to go with an Albins AGB 6 speed squential shifting unit, I also ordered several other parts from them.

I am now working on getting other componets ordered for the brake, steering and suspension . Once I have these pieces locked down I will list the parts also.

An Empire District location! So can you give us a hint of the chassis, body, or other aspects aside from the powerplant?

Wow, a hybrid engine. Ford Racing and Roush may want to borrow your brain on how you managed to integrate a pushrod Windsor-based block with their modular design...

WYOMING - Not a Hybrid motor, It is a Aftermarket modular motor sold by Modular Mustang racing.

Chassis will be a hybrid spaceframe monocoque design.

Monocoque mainbody area ( between the front and rear bulkheads)
Spaceframe front and rear sub areas, taking design idea from the days back when my step-father was building modifieds and late models. The idea is to have both front and rear sub frames removeable and replaceable for upgrades or repair.

The body design has not been set in stone yet, it will. I am trying to get it to fit with in SCCA and NASA rules which follow FIA rules.So the basic deminions will follow these rules.

Normally, aluminum rods are reserved for drag racing due to aluminum's finite life, curious as to why going that route instead of steel or titanium.

I'm just sayin'...
