Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has fitted a new engine in their 40 and has needed to fit catalytic converters. I've no idea what they look like on a 40 or how they effect the power output ? If anyone has photos of a GT40 with 302ci engine fitted with CATS, I'd be interested to see it. I'm guessing that all new GT40's fitted with the new Roush engine and registered in the U.K need CATS ?
I'm debating on whether to go 'old' or 'new' block. Some new castings seem to have advantages over old but I don't want to make a wrong decision, especially if I then face having to put up with an ugly looking exhaust system because of emmission controls for road use.
Problem is my engine build will likely take a year or even two to complete as I'll be doing it along side other aspects of the build and I don't want to go down the 'old' block route, only to find that with the latest 'Green' surge of political correctness, that the Government change the goalposts and I find that I need to retro fit cats anyway.I'd rather build new from the start. I know we can't predict the future, but it would be nice to see if CATS really are acceptable in the looks and performance department or just a dire choice.
Please feel free to throw in your thoughts.
