JacMac, you are completely right, but to run the engine in my garage, at least, I need oil in the engine. Presently the engine is running but the type of oil inside is a mystery and I do not want to spend 60€ to get the info. Dry sump will be the next step...

Hello, My RCR GT40 is equiped with a Dart Aluminum block SBF 302 strocked to 370, full roller, wet sump, with Victor Junior heads, Borla injection. But what kind of oil shall I use for a race track use only. I went on the Dart web site and nothing is specified.

Thank you to take time for th photos. I have the same arms in my stock of parts probably coming from RCR, but it was not in place on the car. I was surprised by the weight and the length of those arms and was not shure if the were used on the RCR GT40. On most of the car, the sway bar has a...

Walter, what is the noise level in dB if you know it ? I see that you have a sway bar on the rear, could you make some photos of it ?

Dougals, I just discussed this subject in my post a few days ago, I discovered what was the bobbin mount. In my stock of parts I had the bushings for the horse shoes. I experimented both, because my car is equiped with the rotating cover. The difference is obvious, if you are alone to do the...

Walter, the front clam is mounted on a shaft, (2nd photo) that is easier to move when I am alone, meaning allways ! I found the two bushing to guide the "bobbling opening" and made a photo of one in place (1st photo) Regarding the part near the gas tank filler,, I removed the two screws on side...

Markus, Paul, Randy, Thank's a lot for those precisions. I found in my stock of parts the black bushings. For me those part were part of an engine mount, now I know ! It seems less pratical to use the bobblin instead the rotation on a shaft, but I suppose this was faster to access to the front...

I continue the modifications on my car, but I have some questions related to two items, could somebody explain me what is this for ? Why is there this aluminum opening on side of the front cover ? The second question is related to this pin or cylinder with the threaded hole inside, nothing...

Somes photos of the Classic Days this weekend at Magnycours in France, a track days with 7 GT40 replica, most of them are Shelby manufactured.

Very interesting, Nick, would you pass the designation of the part on Amazon site.

Thank you for sharing those photos. Be carefull with the size of the vent lines if you do not use a dry sump. If you engine is using a standard wet sump, for street application it is sufficient, but in this case the vent line has to be at least of 3/4 inch in diameter and it is prefarable to...

Blue and red strip is the car prepared for Ford France and driven by Jo Schlesser and Guy Ligier:

Thank you for the clarification !

Sorry for this stupid question, I am french and it is the first time that I read this words "stud girdle" what is it ? A photo ?

Hi Jan, could you share what type of muffler you are using ?

Thank You Walter, and the advantage is that your are in Austria, and I am in France not far from Swiss border, even if Autria is a long country.

Walter, thank's a lot for the help, it is exactly the application, very clever !

I fully agree with your spirit and philosophy.

Colin, you are perfectly right, the picture was taken when the engine was originally assembled and ... failed a few hours later, not for this reason but for a untight screw on a rod. But this problem of plug was solved too in the same time !

My engine is a modifed top oiler (see photo), the previous owner told me that the engine came in France, in crate, with the spare parts for Le Mans 67. Unfortunately, I lost the photos that I made at Le Mans classic in 2022, but the description poster in front of the car in the pit was clearly...
