Scott, I am using Crower lifters with the high pressure pin oiling option, Comp 939-16 springs w/Ti retainers and Jesel 1.6 shaft mount rockers. I am building to 7.5K but will rev limit at 7.25K. Lynn

Scott, If you ever decide to go with a solid roller, you might consider this cam. It is a reasonable cam for a road race engine with a reasonable price since it is a Comp Cams off the shelf: Part Number............35-769-8 Engine....................1969-1995 Ford Windsor, 8cyl. Grind...

Ferrari got the pole, but "The Kid" still got outside of 1st row! And how about Alonso blowing up! and DC's issues with the new tranny. Lynn

Mesa, Being from Ukiah (also lived in Gualala), I have tried to confine myself to the good end and am a propent of statehood for Norcal :-) With my grandparents, several aunts & uncles and countless cousins having lived in the east bay, I am familiar with Santa Clara. Having been in the...

Gregg, Out of curiosity, I looked up Castiac, CA on google maps just to see where it was (I was born & raised in N. Calif. and had never heard of this town.) Google Maps only came up with a Castiac Ln in San Louis Obispo. Can you claify this?? Lynn

Fran, Understand the anti ride-up reasoning for front fenders (I got started with cars by driving ¼ midgets at age 4), but also agree with Randy that there is something that just isn't working for me visually. You know that I am a functionality over aesthetics kind of guy, so why not add...

Ross, I resemble that remark! Having followed this thread, I can now at least understand what Frank is trying to achieve with his increased KPI. What I am having a hard time with is how one can increase the KPI to reduce the scrub radius without getting huge negative camber at the same...

Steve, The stock style synchronizers in a 930 box call for the use of a dino type gear oil as synthetics are too slippery and will prevent them doing their job properly. Dino oil has a proprensity to thermal viscosity break down. Putting 500 HP through this box, and especially the crown &...

Richard, Having had my cardiac cherry popped recently also, I can relate a similar outcome as David; although I only had stints placed in my arteries and not the full rib cracking that he had. Follow orders conscientiously and you'll be surprised at how well they have you feeling in no...

Kennedy makes an adapter for the Nissan SR20, so there is a chance that this engine could be adapted to a Porsche/VW transaxle. This would open up the possibilites quite a bit. As to there being a kit specifically designed to use a 200SX as the donor or just being able to use some of the...

Malcolm, It does seem to build up through multiple use. I used it on an older windscreen that just wouldn't wipe clean. It took several applications to reach an optimum, but it did do the trick. Since the paint job on the car wasn't much better than the glass, I also put a mix of it and...

John, I can't verify this, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. Tube frame members can make great reservoirs/accumulators/pathways for air, hydraulic oil, freon (generic sense) and other non-corrosive gasses and fluids. Indeed, it just made me think about the fact that I am having fits...

Dean, First the ability to estimate time goes to hell as you get older, so it may have actually been longer than that. And, as such the thread may have been one of those mangled in one of the software upgrades. I know all of my really old posts are attributed to someone called "unknown" or...

KalunD, As one of the earliest member of GT40s.com and one of the most helpful members we've had---Congratulations and accolaids are indeed well deserved. When I tell someone that I built it, I always have to qualify that to tell them I startes with a cage and body. Kalun can say, "I built...

Dean, Here is the font. It was uploaded here around 4 years ago. GT40 Font (Microgramma) Regards, Lynn

Mike, The Wilwood kits are for 88-96 C4s. The uprights on DRBs and on Sabres are 84-87 C4 parts. This is typical of the commercially available kits for "C4" Corvettes. The kits on the DRM website do not specify which range of C4 years are supported with their kits. BUT, they do have a...

Bill, I have a keen interest in how this turns out for obvious reasons. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a couple of your photos that I have annotated to show what I think Jac Mac is saying. The yellow box roughly outlines a flat plate drilled with 4 holes to connect...

Did anyone check out Samantha's car at Goodwood??

Gregg, When I saw this auction, I immediately thought of your trials and tribulations as documented in the Consumer section. Any possibility that this is the same guy under a new pseudonym?
