I am starting to gather the bits and pieces for my engine for a GT40; basic engine will be a crate Ford Motorsports 5.0, with their GT40x heads, E303 cam- fairly mild, since I want a street-driveable car. I would like to use Webers. I have looked at several sources for a complete Weber kit; Pierce, Inglese, Rotary, and Carbs Unlimited, I think it's called. Here are a few questions, if anyone has time to write in about their experiences...
For this size motor, 44 or 48 IDF?
Any advice as to who to go to, particularly sources other than the above, in the USA?
Best manifold, best linkage? (I have seen manifolds advertised by all of the above and also Holman Automotive)
Vacuum advance ignition versus mech advance, with Webers?
There is much expertise among Forum members which I don't have, and if I can I would like to avoid making too many mistakes in putting this engine together. Thank you in advance,
Happy holidays,
Jim Rosenthal
