Has anyone who is building a RCR-40 with the ford coyote motor made the headers or had someone make the headers for them? If not how about we have someone make the few of us headers at the same time to cut the cost down? Don

Don't let anyone take away your rights even if you dont want them..... I think more people are killed by cars than guns.... oops no more cars... people smother people with pillows two.... oops no more pillows Once you let it start you will not be able to stop it.... A lot of smokers already...

Cooling system, The factory ford return radiator hose connection will not clear the fire wall and will need rerouted. I have seen several of the fabricated coolant tanks here but being a lotus owner where less is better, I am going to try to eliminate it? The top of the motor is the highest...

Update, The motor and transaxle is now mounted. The fuel level sensor was relocated to the front of the tank and the fuel pump is now located in the rear of the tank. I also added a angled dam inside the tank to trap fuel in the rear of the tank for hard braking. Fuel system is...

Mark, They look great, if they fit they will be just what I was looking for. I didn't want the weather stripping on them as getting in and out of the car could tear the seal. I think putting the weather strip on the door could seal to the plastic channels when door is closed.

Rick, That sounds great and I am willing to try it, but if I like them how much are they? Don

I found a picture of it might be a superformance

I seen a picture of a 40 with what appeared to be a molded threshold to keep rain out anyone know where to get them?

Electrical Most of the ford factory wiring harness gets unwrapped, rearranged and rewrapped. I have a special tool to push the tab in on the water tight connectors this will allow the wires to be untangled and rewrapped with minimal splicing The motor harness will reach the passenger side...

Mechanical Zf transaxle, Ford Boss modular motor, and a KEP bell housing. 11 inch pressure plate will not clear the inside bolt flange to transaxle with out chamfering the edge of the KEP bellhousing. This would have been great for a CNC but went with a Dewalt flap disc. To maintain clearence...

Hi All, I looked for information on this combination but didn't find much. Mostly I found or was given information that almost changed my mind about this motor. So for those who are interested I will share my information here and update it as I can. I also will try to keep the mechanical...

Dam, changes here too? Delta just changed their web site too! this is like rearranging Hellen Kellers furniture. whats next 'windows 5000' rearrange, rename, rearrange, rename gotta love it!

thanks Allen didn't think of that. gotta go order bell housing now thanks

I checked that route with Kenedy. Bret at kenedy stated that bell housing is 3/4 inch shorter than a standard bell housing and takes a special input shaft from RBT to work, RBT has no knowledge of a different input shaft. so far there has been only one modular motor to a zf and it was done for a...

I guess this must be impossible for my price range if no one else has done it
