Starter motor to battery should be a good quality cable as short as makes sense from the sill mounted battery to the starter terminal (1 Gauge). Alternator positive lead depends upon whether you are using a low or high amperage output alternator. High output require a heavy cable and maxi-fuse...

Not aware the Shelby suit had anything to do with a GT40 since he never owned anything to do with that. And he lost most if not all of the claims he made. From what I remember, FFR said they would never build a 40, in spite of what the web recently says. Are you waiting because you don't have...

Beyond the Ford part number, it looks like 2H30 which is the actual casting date. 2 is the year in the decade so 1972. H is August, and 30 is the day. So I believe it is an August 30, 1972 cast block. The '9' is the Last digit of year of introduction or revision. Someone confirm this...

It looks like a Pantera -2 ZF that was flipped for your car. The top plate casting is a new cover added for use in the GT. RBT provides them. There should be a serial number stamped into the case at the rear seam on both cases (a 4 digit number). As well as the I.D. tag which you did not...

Roger Krauss Racing in Castro Valley, Ca. But they would be AVON slicks that he hand cuts a vintage groove in. Need to call him to verify stock.

Nicely done!

Nice pics. Was just at that museum over the holidays while visiting family on Anastasia Island. The Museum is a nice place with some cool stuff.

I was told somewhere the 651, 653, 656 are the same basic lense and the "fog" light. The 652 is the "spot" light which does not have all the internal lense ribbing. Not sure if that is true.

Here is the instruction

The original ZF in the Pantera flipped for use in my GT uses a nearly 3 quarts per Ron McCall. I can only assume the RBT is the same. In the Pantera orientation, it takes about 3.5 quarts. You fill through the vent hole in the top plate and you should have a small side hole near the bottom...

GOX -USA can provide the entire steel roof.

Public Service Announcement: Found that Vintage has these for sale now on their site for those looking. Appear to be Image Wheels. FYI only. https://vintagewheelsus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=105&products_id=992

I am not sure why they would. The Pantera has magnesium wheels and nobody uses tubes on them provided they have been properly prepared, primed, and painted on the inside. I have never seen a race 40 at the track in modern times using tubes. All the AVON race slicks are mounted without tubes...

I would call Gelscoe https://gt40partsuk.com/partsDrivetrain.php or GOX-USA Both have original parts being reproduced

that is incredible - is it a Norwood built car? Personally, I would ditch those side windows - on the real cars they always looked like an afterthought to me.

Here is a clip from the Klutt video on 1028's restoration.
