Hello,
I am beginning to think about a G40 project and I'm considering doing either a MKIV or a MKII and would like to use a big block and make the car as authentic as possible. I'm trying to undertand if the RCR kits can accomodate a big block motor (considering an all aluminum 427ci or a 482ci) and what would be the pro's and cons of this approach vs. say a 427ci SBF. I am most concerned about Transaxle choices and how well these combos can stand up to the torque that would be generated.
I would also be interested in anyone's thoughts on the RCR kits in terms of accuracy (as compared to the orginal GT40s), overall quality, experience with RCR as a manufacturer, etc. I think that RCR may be the only source for a MKIV at this point. If I go the MKII route, I would be considering RCR, ERA, and Superformance so thoughts as to which of those might be the best choice for me would also be much appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance for helping me.
