Has anyone used Evans High Performance Engine Coolant, it's boiling temp is over 300F? It's not cheap $40 per gallon.

Re: Beware Ian CAV I talked with CAV last week and Ian is not connected with them at all he apparently sold one CAV many years ago and that was it. Alan

I would think getting a 1 1/16 x 10 output shaft would give me a wider range of clutch options. Will check with RBT if available. Thanks alan

Tim Good question I would like to know as well. I have have a roller coming soon and would like to do track days as well but they all require to have the windows down. I would think you could put threaded inserts into the fiberglass?? Alan

I've driven SPF, RCR and CAV and the CAV seems to have the most room.this was important factor for me as well. I order my CAV a month ago and should get it in a few months Alan

Your attention to detail on this car is phenomenal! I have a CAV #176 on order right now, it’s a full roller expecting Jan/Feb. How did you mount the windows and headlight covers? Looks like you painted a black trim (what kind of paint?) and used some kind of double sided tape??? How did you...

Oh yeah sounded like solid lifters too cool

I looked at the flamingriver unit but I can't see how they justify 6k for it? EPS looks like the same unit as UniSteer. I'm looking for a system that that is speed sensitive that has more assist at lower speeds.

MSD distributor and Taylor wires. Like the simple black look. The injection sys is TMW and Fast but their distributor didn't fit Alan

Went with 10.25, could have pushed it 10.5 but if the gas has been sitting in the station it could ping at the higher compression ratio. Alan

Hi Jeff, #176. Why CAV? It all comes down to personal tastes and what you want out of the car. I’ve been dreaming of gt40 since 2002 and have had a lot of input. I’ve driven SPF/RCR/CAV, been to club events, talked to owners etc. IMO What I’ve always like about CAV is that it has a lot of...
