Hello All, I ordered my GT40 MkI from RCR in August 2024, hopefully I will take delivery by August 2025. My plan is to build a tribute not a full replica. Using some modern touches like fuel injection and 17" Wheels with center locks instead for spinners, but mostly vintage style otherwise.

I have started to gather bits and bobs for the build.
I have purchased the Quiafe QBE62G tall ratio transaxle with Ford bell housing. Also acquired is a Jim Inglese smooth stack injection system.

Update, Still waiting Im at month 10 since I ordered the car, Vicki says the body is built and fran said chassis is almost complete. I did choice the option of the factory cutting all openings and hanfging the doors, that should add about 2 months more to the wait. I have ordered my engine from Prestige Motorsports in Concord NC, 427ci / 520hp that should provide some excitement. and now to continue to wait......

Update: Mounted the CNC Performance cable shift adaptor on the Quiafe QBE62G. I also got the CNC shifter, excellent craftsmanship!

Does anybody knows why the gas rail is allways in the middle of the injection stack. It is like that on my Borla and after I did the complete deassembly and reassembly, I can tell you everything is difficult to access either for electrical or mechanical compents. And on top of it the cable that command the cabstan and its mechanism is almost unaccessible after assembly. Why does the injectors are not outside ????

not sure.. but on mine the injector rails are on the outside.
Is it not possible to turn the throttle bodies thru 180 and move the rail to the outside.

I tried this on mine as I wanted the rails on the inside... but the rails touched each other so had to go back to outside.

Well it has finally happened after 20 months, my car is ready for pick up at RCR. Should be delivered on 4/16/26. So stoked to finally get it and start the build journey. Ordered 1 August 2024 - Pick up 14 April 2026. I sure rode the emotional roller coaster waiting for the car to be built at RCR. I must admit I had to be talked off "the ledge" a few times. "OK lets build it!"

Joel, could you let me know, what is the designation of your injectors, generally you may read a number on it even with the rails in place, or would you know their size in lbs/h ? Thank you

The injectors on most setups are in the middle because that gives them a better angle to squirt fuel directly into the intake port. Injectors mounted on the outside squirt across the port.

Day Three, chassis moved onto rolling chassis cart. De-Burred all holes and edges, smoothing all marks left from manufacturing box brake.
