Interesting Olthoff alternative. Is it possible to use 3 retention screws with this instead of the original 2 ?

Because SPF exactly copies the original parts 2 tapered roller bearings are used. There is no way to get an interference fit. More modern bearings like double row angular contact ball bearings are used on most race cars now. That being said I've owned my SPF for 14 years now and have not had...

What is the brand of the slave cylinder? From your description it's an internal concentric type?

Thank you Paulus. These stories of so called original 40's are amazing.

Not arguing if it's a replica, but if it's the ERA you reference there are a lot of mods including RHD, RH shift, different seats, etc.

29mm x 10 splines McLeod plate # 272180R is that size, but may not fit other pressure plates?

There were 7 GT40's in the race. Just didn't give them as much video time as leaders.

Thanks Jimmy Mac! Some great action especially by the winning Lotus 30.

Welcome Robbie and how do you like your SPF?

Assume you have an SPF with RBT (or ZF) trans on order? You don't need a trans cooler. I did many track days without a cooler. Only if you're on track for more than half an hour might you need one.

Maybe look over at https://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/. This forum is for original/replica gt40's 1963-1969.

I would contact Rick Muck, longtime SPF dealer at Time Machines Motorsports. He more than anyone on this forum would have the most knowledge of SPF MkII FE's built.

My guess is about $20K due to the rarity.

I don't think it's a financial reason either. SPF markets their GT40 to be fitted with a Windsor commonly a Roush prepped one. An FE is a very tight fit especially at the firewall with an A/C compressor (obviously the race cars had no a/c). No one makes an crate FE already prepped to drop in an...

I'm not saying an FE and a Windsor are the same, but there are very, very few SPF's with an FE. This is unlike Cobras with many FE's available. This requirement along with your others is probably unobtanium in the used market.

Hi Steve, Your FE engine requirement is probably the biggest stumbling block. If you won't accept a 427W stroker then you probably should swap the engine yourself or buy a new SPF roller.

Yes I had a big flat spot before changing cams. That will make a much bigger difference than pre load or nozzle size. Once you get the cam kit look at the fuel delivery diagrams. The difference between different cams is dramatic.

I have a QF 750 on a 427 Windsor. QF sends the 750 with .031" nozzles. I did not change these. Since you're running a 650 on a 351 Cleveland I wouldn't change the .028" nozzles unless you can't dial it in with the cams.

I set my Quick Fuel with just the slightest play on the pump arms. Probably less than .010". You may need to change the accelerator cams. Buy Holley 20-12 that has an assortment of cams. These alter the depth and duration of the pump shot. I think Quick Fuel puts the pink one in standard but I...
