The original Gt40 roadsters looked quite different, I think using the squarer roadster windscreen that Rick mentioned would have to be the best looking option. I imagine there is a bit involved in changing the side windows and A pillar across?

Ok thanks Rick, last question. Does the documentation that comes from the factory for the SPF GT40 allow you to put the FE engine (that is installed post-factory) serial number with the car chassis number on the same documents. My local motor vehicle dept would like to know if the car will have...

I can only find the homologation papers for the 289 powered car HTP#224, where can I find more info on what is required to get a HTP for the FE powered Mk II? What appendix would a SPF Mk II run in? For where I live the FE was going to be a problem but it appears an aftermarket EFI system will...

Thanks for that. David

I understand they may eligible for some events but not for others such as the tour de france. My aim is to keep it as original as possible so it is certified as same (or close enough to) as what was made back in '67. I don't want to put modern stuff on it and be running it in GTP against semi...

Hi all, Head down in planning as I'd like to run a GT40 on some historic events in Europe and down under. And this all determines what spec I build it to. What are you Brits entering your car in, I'm thinking FIA GTC 76 class GTP 1966-31.12.1969 Cat G1 (above 2 or 3? litres). But I'm a bit...

I don't know if the flat 12 would fit easily, my sports racing ferrari book has some stuff on the flat 12's and the rear chassis looks a bit different. Fran, I emailed you about the Mk IV, I'm shagging about with motor and transaxle options so I'm in no hurry but can you send me some info back...

have to add in an amusing addition (story/Yarn) to this thread. One of the three of these ended up in New Zealand in Christchurch and stayed until the early 1990's (scratchy memory). No one in the town it lived in knew what it was and it had no DFV at that stage. The owner put it up for sale in...

Hi all, The email address on the RBT website isn't correct and that's all that comes up on google. Has anyone got one that's current? Thanks, David

Couldn't you run the Mercedes V-12 in this minus all the superflous garbage and running home made intake with webbers? David

Thanks for that. it hadn't occurred to me to put in anything other than a FE or maybe a 385 series. From my brief look, I can see the trans is going to be a little tricky, the 930 4 speed seems to be selling for 5-7 which isn't far off the rebuilt ZF. I'm not interested in huge horsepower, I'd...

Hi all, I'm new here and I'm interested in doing a MkIV project (sort of a divorce present to myself) but I have to throw up my new garage first so I'm still 6 months away from annoying RCR. And I've only built Ch**y hot rods before so I'm doing a bit of a crash course on the FE and 385...

Your problem is finding a BB ford that's got 4 bolt mains as I'd say 800 hp is borderline 2 bolt but I build blown BB Chev engines and if I do a Ford I'm a rookie like you. There is an aftermarket 4 bolt fit but what BB Ford were you using?
