Keep us posted on how it performs after several track days.

Wow Rick, what a great catch for Master of Ceremonies!

The triangles connect circuits between the 13 pages of electrical diagrams. Note page reference next to letter.

A UK company called Nova acquired the machinery and rights to manufacture Avon tires. They have indicated CR6ZZ tires for Cobras and GT40's will continue.

Congratulations! Like you I remember dreaming about GT40's in high school. Never thought we could drive one then.

Don't think the site is gone. Frequently there are temporary shutdowns or difficulties in bringing the site up. This has been going on for a few years now.

Agree that the repair is worth a try. I'm not optimistic you're going to get the balancer off and back on with SPF clearance. Also towing the car and having the engine removed is way more complicated.

Can the balancer be removed without removing the engine? Looks pretty tight on my SPF with Roush.

Oregon has self serve gas as of 2023. Only NJ left.

If you look carefully those are not rivets, but very small metric allen heads. I got that panel off without paint damage.

I would agree with Lee's advice Mike. Yes the waterpump can be removed with the firewall off and serpentine belt removed, but best to determine what if anything is causing overheating. Weeping from the waterpump would not cause this,

It's been awhile, but I think if you remove the exterior plate on the roof you can access the vent housing.

You might only have to put new gaskets in. That happened to my Roush 427SR waterpump years ago.

My advice is find out about registering a replica car in NJ first. NJ appears to have difficult laws about replicas. I assume you're considering Superformance? If so contact the NJ dealer: https://www.jonathanmotorcars.com/

Yes the block code would be modern. They are built with new Dart 4 main blocks. Getting an engine built with a 1960's block will be difficult especially for the power output you want. It would help to know what state or country you plan to title in.

I would second the suggestion of getting a ride in a 40 with either an FE or Windsor stroker. The low down torque (over 480 lb. ft as low as 3K) may change your thoughts on high reving street engines. I raced a Formula Atlantic with 10,000 rpm redline for many years. Wild on the track over...

If only street or very occasional track a stroked 351 with Quaife or RBT will work. Don't understand your 7000 rpm requirement. Either stroked 351 or FE will have very broad torque band. As JP says torque wins races. If you're not going with RHD or a t44 pure originality is gone anyway. If you...

Kudos to you for taking on this massive project. Look forward to more on the renovation.

Have you looked at Renault possibilities? Some Lotus Europa owners have installed 2.0 Ford Zetec engines with Renault Fuego NG3 transaxles. Later Europas had a special bellhousing that matches 4 cylinder Ford engines (thru Zetec) with Renault transaxles. Some later Renault transaxles might work...

Zakspeed provided 1.7 and 2.1 L engines for Mustangs raced by Roush and Ford in IMSA's GTP category 1983 and 1984. With 600 hp the Mustangs were potent, but not reliable. I remember being on track with Bobby Rahal in one while I raced in GTU. https://www.supercars.net/blog/1983-ford-mustang-gtp/
