Ok being that new guy thing, I have been reading alot of the builds at are posted, looking at engine choices etc.
Now I realize there are alot of you working toward the tribute car build. I can understand that. My quesitons are how do we get to here or here, cursed as an analytical. Now comes the variation.
What are the preferred transaxles for the GT40 kits? I have seen the Porche name bandied about, which one, which year? Audi etc?
The new production GT40, any thoughts on that transaxle, or even the engine? I know, in that case go buy a new one right? Saw a drop out on ebay for 29K.
I ask only because since I am hands on, if there is the right one to get today, I can snag it and start the rebuild, same with the engine. Other cars I have built have been based on an overall theme, big pic to the details. The GT40 I want to build will start at the rear end, or transaxle if you will, then move forward 3 inches to the power plant. I will build the rest of the car in my mind off of that combination.
I am kind not a purist on the GT40, do like my hand in on some of the ideas, but I am partial to a 302 of some sort. 400 hp deisred.
