What are some of the notable things in the booklet?

Thanks Randy. But would a brand new 427 built by Roush or Shelby have a date code of say 2024?

Has anyone successfully done this in NJ? - Does it help to transfer an existing title from another state that says 1966 GT40? Does having MSO only make it challenging? - If you have to go through the extended inspection process, can a GT40 even pass an inspection, i.e it has to have bumpers...

Thanks everyone for valuable input. I continue my research day and night, this has turned into an obsession. That being said, one thing that I didnt properly research was emissions testing and the following question is in regards to that process. When you buy a new engine but its a 427 FE (such...

Those prices are inline with what other track tires cost (michelin cup2s) I think. Given the amount of rubber in these tires, its not too bad at all.

Just out of curiosity what was the cost of each of avon set?

Thank you Randy on both fronts. I have properly subscribed to the thread and I see what you are saying regarding the solid lifters. Interesting because I am being told that the engine as is already has stronger internals and doesn’t need modifications for higher rpm use. Can you recommend anyone...

For some reason I didnt get any emails when these replies were posted and I assumed the thread didn’t get any responses since the last message. Only now when I was browsing the forum I realized bunch of responses were posted. I apologize for not replying sooner and I appreciate everyone’s...

Bump - does everyone think a trans cooler is needed for a quaife box with a 468 ci 550 hp FE motor?

Would anyone be able to identify the engine in the first youtube video?

Kevin, You are also correct, I never rode in a GT40 (sat in a few). I would love to go for a ride with a fellow owner. I live in tri state area in North East but I’d be willing to drive anywhere in a 250 mile radius, that includes MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD.

Thank you Kevin and everyone for answering my questions. A lot of information that pretty much helped me already in a very short span of time. Based on my brief research (and talking to a few people outside of the forum), I am told that every FE 427 engine will leak eventually. Its not an if...

The 7000 requirement comes from the perspective of sound and the movie.

No track use anytime soon. Perhaps in the future once I get comfortable with the car.

I was told to go with Quaife transaxle. Would that handle the torque/power? Whats the difference between a stroked 351 vs big block 427 as far as power/reliability/sound/max rpm? I guess as you pointed out that this isnt my only fun car. And I cant stress this enough, I am not looking for the...

Thanks for the replies folks. How reliable are the modern Shelby FE 427 engines? Do they have any known issues (leaks, etc)? Is a smaller engine punched out to 427 more reliable than a big block 427? Can a SMB punched out rev higher more reliably? Everyone is different. I’m going to be very...

Good afternoon forum. Long time lurker here. I am getting closer to my dream of acquiring a GT40 MKII with Ken Miles Livery and am in the process of determining the engine/transaxle combination. I understand for it to be period correct, an FE 427 is the right engine for this car. That being...
