Im rebuilding a 289 for my GT. It will be a pretty mild engine when its done. What is a descent porsche transaxle for my application?

944 value Sorry I forgot to ask what a 944 transaxle with 100000 miles on it would be worth if anyone knows? Thanks Shawn

What kind of transaxle does a 944 have? Could this type of transaxle be used in a GT-40 application? Thanks Shawn

Sounds great! Thanks

I am scratch building a 40 and was wondering what it will take to get it licensed in Iowa. Any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shawn

Has anyone seen B&B hot rods new GT-40 bodies, or GT45 as they call them on their site? I emailed them and they said they were selling the whole body for $4500.00 usd This seems to good to be true. I wonder if they are molded off of original panels or are they some freaky abomination like the...

I guess if you look at from a hp standpoint the the corvette hubs should be able to handle more abuse. I look at the T-bird hubs as being able to handle up to 250 hp and over 3500 lbs. Thunderbird super coupes had the power and still weighed almost 2 tons. The hubs have to be fairly strong to...

Phil, I noticed you scratchbuilt your MKI. What did you use for your rear components? Thanks Shawn

Thanks Rick, I will look into that.

Gregg, Would that rack and pinion hook up to mustang II spindles?

I have ordered all the mustang II front suspension components. I was wondering what kind of right hand drive rack and pinion I could buy that would hook up to my mustang II spindles?

Thanks Mike I will look into it. I like tools, so any reason to buy a new one makes me giddy.:pepper:

Is the 93-98 Lincoln Mark VII rear wheel spindle assembly acceptable for the basis for my rear suspension? Are there any other options I should look into? Ford Thunderbirds had a similar setup, but I think they were steel not aluminum like the Lincolns.

Thanks for advice. I think I will go with stainless, since I have a bunch of it already. When you say bead the ends, do you mean I should put a bead of weld all the way around for the radiator hose to grab onto?

Sorry.. I put this thread in the wrong area.

I am compiling supplies to start on my scratch build and was wondering what kind of piping I should use for the radiator? I want to run a hard pipe from the front of the car where the soft line radiator hoses drop down, to the back where the engine sits. Do I need stainless piping or should I...

I think I will weld thin sheet metal to the round tubing. I have already collected a bunch of round tubing for the chassis. I will gusset most of the connections with lightweight aircraft style gussets. I think my chassis will be a little heavier than most but im OK with that. I just do not...

Thanks Jim ! :thumbsup:

I have not even started on my chassis yet and I want headlight measurements hmmmmmm.... I was kicking around some boxes the other day and I found a box full of round and rectangular headlight that I bought at an auction for five dollars. I have a couple sets of matching rectangular headlights...

Bill, Russ Noble mentioned that you might be able to assist me. I am looking for a spider for my GT-40 scratch-build. I am in no hurry, was just wondering if you made all the peices and what you charge. Thanks Shawn C.
