Here are the 2007 Color Codes for Truck/SUV/Crossovers.

Hey folks, One of the benefits of working in a Ford dealership is we tend to get a surplus of sale material from Ford, so I scoffed a couple of color charts. I know a few times guys guys are looking for color codes, so I uploaded them into the gallery. Keep in mind, what you see on the screen...

Hello Ernst, Welcome to the forum! I think you'll find some of the friendliest and most helpful people on the 'net on this forum. Even though we all come different backgrounds and from all corners of the world, we're united by our love of the GT40, and great cars in general. Enjoy. Joe

Paul...that Kinsler set up looks absolutely sick :-D I've noticed that Kinsler's tend to have longer runner lengths than other IR set-ups....cough...inglese.....cough....... That should go a long way towards making up the torque deficiency in Clevelands. But I wonder if such a long runner...

I always thought it was the other way around...i.e. the Cleveland suffered from lack of low end of torque. Doug: The Boss 302 is the original Clevor! Ford basically took the 289 Hi-Po (4-bolt mains, Mechanical lifters, forged rotating assembly) block, stroked it to 302, and mounted the 351 4V...

Chas: Thanks for the info.....I've always been a believer in no replacement for displacement. This warrants serious consideration.

Well....not necessarily since the DFV was a road racing engine, some consideration had to be given to driveability. I can't imagine that having an on/off switch under your right foot was good for mid corner stability. I think you're right in that the major advantage of a sliding plate is...

MikeD, I'm partial to the Cleveland too. It's different and they can make big power from a small package (anybody remember Jack Roush's Tijuana Taxis?). Here's a combo I've been playing around with in my head.... Ford's new Boss 302 Block stroked to 331 cid, topped with Edelbrock 3V...

This a good question. When the day comes I get a 40, I thought about ABS. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as aftermarket ABS. Hmmmm..I sense a business opportunity. I should dig out my old microprocessor programmming books and put my engineering degree to good use (does anybody still use...

I never knew he was so young...no older than I am..... Godspeed Jay....

According to my book "Anatomy and Development of the Grand Prix Car" by Sal Incandela, the DFV used sliding plates up right up until it's retirement in 1983. I need to read more into what advantage it would have, but I would imagine that a butterfly would have an advantage in terms of airflow...

Ford Vista Blue might be a good choice. It's used on the current Mustangs and Ranger and is very distinctive blue. Pictures really don't do the color justice. Joe

Fran, It's looks like you did it again. You changed the whole kit car industry with the RCR40, now you set your sights on the Ultima and the Noble! Awesome! Can you imagine the P with a Ford Duratec 35. Heck, that engine makes 265 in stock trim, and over 450 hp with twin turbos, and within...

It's not listed, but when the day comes that I order an RCR 40, it will be powered by Ford's new Boss 302 block stroked to 331.

Hmmmm....great idea. I always like the GT90. Instead of the Mod V8, any chance of fitting something like the original 6.0L V12. Heck...all you have to do is find a junked Aston-Martin DB9, Vanquish, or late 90's Jag XK. Or somehow weld two Duratec V6's together.
