All, It appears less and less likely that I will be able to live the GT40 dream. My deposit has sat at ERA for approaching 6 years now and after being financially steam rolled by building a house, 3 daughters, work... , it does not look good. If OK w/ the ERA gang, I would consider working...

For fun, if there were no GT40s, what would be the object(s) of desire that you would realistically try to make yours? A list of two or three is acceptable. No boundaries as to what you can pick except the items need to be realistically obtainable by you and your means.

Will someone be kind enough to list what manufacturers are making 6 pin BRM and/or Halibrand knock offs? I've read about time and cost issues, fitment issues and runout issues. Are there any people doing a timely and good job anymore? I've little hope for low cost wheels. Thanks, Scott

Anyone else tempted to buy a high dollar (Bryant...) when new... but now "used " NASCAR crank? Other than issues inherent to any used part, what would be your concerns? Anyone know what the max counterweight diameter a R302/dart/aluminum 302 blcok can accomidate? Thanks, Scott

that you (and your unrestrained and unprotected) son are alive and intact. The driver stated he had a stuck throttle in his(?) vintage Can-Am McLaren leaving Road America after Friday's practice. This year's Kohler (previously Brian Redman) International Challenge claimed the number 11 McLaren...

Some may not find this very interesting but I was amazed to meet this guy (Mr. Beaumont)today. I work in healthcare so I can't tell you how I met him but as I was working for this fellow, I made some small-talk asking the usual superficial/benign questions to distract him from my work and to...

In your opnions, how much can safely be shaved off the top of a block. Any difference b/w aluminum and cast iron? Thanx -S

I am considering purchasing a car (not a GT40) in Bozeman MT. Would someone here be willing to help me out by looking at it? Thanks, Scott

Earlier this fall, I encountered a genuine 289 cobra in Appleton, WI and thought I was living right. Yesterday, as my family traveled back to Wisconsin from turkey day in South Dakota, I noticed a very large propeller sticking out from behind a building about a 1/4 mile off the highway just...

I will have nearly a week of day hours to myself as the better half attends continuing education lectures. Interested in car, motorcycle (esp. Ducati), boat, aircraft, manufacturer, craftsman architecture... stuff. Anyone out there have a GT40? Thanks, Scott

I know this is a long shot but is anyone interested in trying for a small volume discount in a fuel injection set-up? I'm open to all thoughts.

Anyone have experience or insight into Missile drys sump pumps? Popular Hot Rodding is showing one on their latest road race hemi project. Looks like a great idea but not sure how it works...also looks like it is mounted on a fuel pump pad. It's on the far right of the second to last row of...

Just read this in my latest Autoweek. Apparently this would put them in position to collect royalties on each GT from Ford. If the trademark goes through, any ideas on the implications for replica manufacturers and consumers? With Ford in hand, would they bother pursuing the replicas?

C302 vs c302b\'s Looking for advice. Have abandoned my yates heads notion and have located 2 sets of new heads for my 8.2" deck 360" engine. first set are new C302 heads---bare and unported--as they arrived from Ford 20 years ago...$1300. second set are new C302B heads. Matched, ported...

A new \'69 camaro,, \'67 mustang, \'69 mustang or \'70 cuda? The new Hot Rod magazine has an article on a group producing entirely new muscle cars...no original parts needed...entirely simialr to other replicas but in all steel. It's a good time to be a car nut.

I attended this event about a week ago and took some images which I have posted to www.imagestation.com under the user name: pavulon and password: pancuronium . I hope you like them as it was a great event to attend!! Can anyone tell me if the Daytona coupe is an original...it appeared to be...

Anyone here running "yates" heads? Anyone care to postulate on a minimal displacement for running these heads on the street?

Have happened across a fellow who claims to have several pair of gurney heads. Anyone know what the going $$$ rate for these parts is? I'd like to know before I speak to him...he is already being a bit coy so I suspect he is over-priced.

Anyone out there running a dry sump on a small block? Eventually, I would like to run a dry sump and A/C on an ERA car but the compressor sits where the oil pump is commonly located and the alternator sits on the left. Any ideas, experiences or images? Scott
