    Fuel tank connections

    Trying to work out exactly how to plumb up the fuel system on a Southern GT. I've a pair of Mick's fuel tanks supplied before his retirement and not 100% certain why it has all the various piping points. Front end of tank is simple with a filler inlet and small diameter vent pipe outlet. Back...

    Aeroflow fuel pumps - anyone used them?

    I know there are many fuel pump options available but here's another potential that I'm considering. Anyone out there have any experience of their external carburetter application pumps? Looking at using a pair of them with Malpassi regulators on a 347 motor. Range is 7 psi / 97 GPH up to 14...

    Maximum sump / oil pan height for Southern GT with UN1 gearbox

    Can anyone advise on what the maximum oil pan height can be for a SGT build without the pan extending below the chassis rails? I know that the SGT with a ZF box requires a very shallow pan as the engine is mounted very low. Seems like a huge cost difference in the UK for an oil pan when going...

    Brake calipers for 15" rims

    Can anyone confirm what the current brake disc size, caliper type and mounting style are being used on GT40 replicas? My assumption is that they will be the same front and rear ..... although I may well be wrong in some cases. Of particular interest are the Wilwood types being used.

    Anti-roll bar loadings

    Calling GT40 suspension gurus! With the GT40 being a mid-engine configuration and with weight biased towards the back end does that mean that loads put into the anti-roll bar is greater for the rear than front? Any clues on the percentage disparity front-to-rear?

    Ford 302 installation with front end low

    I'm sure this has been chewed over before but can't find it anywhere. Looking to install a 302 with the crankshaft centre line NOT parallel to the ground. The front end being lower than the rear. Is this going to cause any issues with regard to air locks or flow difficulties within the coolant...

    UN1 vs Audi 01E or 01X vs Boxster/Cayman gearbox

    Hi all. First post on the forum now I've finally got registered! Now I'm sure this has been chewed over many times and that most of the information is somewhere out there but it would seem slightly elusive to me. I'm in the process of putting together a GT40 replica and will be using a rebuilt...
