    Chassis Design

    Dean, the scratch build is difficult and you must be very talented. After much research I bought a Southern GT chassis to get the best head start. I then complicated things by getting a body made from molds off original cars by Bill Hough. Then much fiddling to get them to mate up and I am...

    SPF GT40 MKII Ken Miles Livery Build

    Just had a moment of looking at Prestige Motors and both their small block and FE 427's make around 500 horse and 500 torques in a streetable form that a Quaife or RBT ZF could deal with. Going that direction puts you $20k ish in a motor and 20k in a trans and both may live happily together...

    Maximum sump / oil pan height for Southern GT with UN1 gearbox

    the 361 was used in Deloreans and not suitable for over 200hp as I understood. I got a 1 piece main shaft with gears and installed in a UN-1 added the Quaife ATB. This should handle 400hp. The guys at GTO racing in Wales can supply you all this and I would recommend they build your box.

    SPF GT40 MKII Ken Miles Livery Build

    As folks have said you have to find a transaxle to handle the power first before you pick the motor. Then what tire are you going to put on it to handle that power. I think a stroked 351 would be nice. Truly if you have modern cars that zing why are you trying to make a 427 do that...

    So you guys have it easy! you get the small v6 flywheel, clutch and starter cheap but the pan freight is expensive but still less than shipping a starter, flywheel, clutch from England to here!

    Maximum sump / oil pan height for Southern GT with UN1 gearbox

    I got the small flywheel package from Mick only because I got had on a 361 transaxle that only yielded a bell UN bell housing and adapter plate. Otherwise I would have gone with the large flywheel and bell housing so I could use US based starter, flywheel and clutch. In the end my machinist...

    Windscreens - real and aftermarket, whats the difference.

    From discussions with Andrew at GT40 gold parts there are several different fits for "original" cars as there were different panel suppliers. There is a windscreen chart on the forum depending on who made your spyder. Mine was made in the US by Bill Hough. I have glass from RCR as they...
