Chris and Bill, Nope, no extra pipes and trap doors. The design idea is taken from Dean Lampe. The overflow will be a hole cut in the top of the bulkhead between the two tanks (left tank and swirl pot). The air should also escape through the same hole back into the left tank where there is a...

Thanks Woody, Have a Speights, good on ya' mate! :laugh: My son and daughter-in-law are residents of Dunedin. Where are you located in Kiwi land? Cheers, Howard

Needing a sense of accomplishment this week I mounted the remote oil filter unit. I made a mounting plate and attached the unit to the back left side of the trans-axle.

One step forward, two steps back. John at Design Enterprizes sent over my swirl pot bulkhead plate with welded AN fittings and fuel tubes attached for the EFI system. I promptly went to work drilling mounting holes in my swirl pot tank and shortening the tubes to the proper lengths. I filed...

Woody, Sorry to be slow to respond, I haven't checked in to the site for a while. Yes, it is an RCR steering column. The height from the floor is 18.5 inches to the center of the column. However please note it has been trimmed and is adjustable in and out, which changes the height from the...

It looks like you guys had nice weather. Any in car vids with some sound effects? Cheers, Howard

Oh Yeah, I forgot to thank my friend Bill for getting the clutch stop welded onto my pedal assembly. Thanks Bill! Here's a couple of pics for me to feel good about I just set the body panels on to give me the appearance of nearing completion. LOL

Oh yeah, I had John at Design Enterprises put a shifter mount together for me and now I actually have more fun sitting in my car going vrooom vroom! :laugh::laugh: I hooked up the pedal assembly and strung the accelerator cable from Lokar. It required some bracket fabrication which I made out...

Time to crawl out from under the log and post. I am getting close to a first start. I have been chipping away and getting stuff squared away on the car. The Dynatek Classic EFI set up, which was designed for front engine cars had a lot of extra wire, so I ordered some connector ends and...

Chris, Four and 9/16" from the cross member to the motor face. I am using a GM one wire mounted on the right side of the motor above the A/C compressor. I had John Schriver at Design Enterprises make all my brackets and mounts for a serpentine belt front. See the pics. Great pics of your...

Okay Dimi I've got my thinking cap back on! The good news is no large sum of money changed hands for the strainer. Thanks for trying your best to keep me out of trouble.

Hi Dimi, We had that debate up front for the strainers. I agree with everything you have said and I am even considering not even using the tubes at all in the long run. I am using the Dynatek Classic fuel injection (seen in the last valve cover photo). I note from your posts you always seem...

A couple more details... the Isis master cell is mounted forward in the passenger foot-well well forward of where any feet will reach if and where the access panel can be removed and the computer can easily be read from the passenger side from outside of the car. Another little add on is a Ford...

I have the front of the car pretty much ready to go. The heater hoses pass through the front bulk head and are insulated from chafing with standard oil filler grommets purchased at the local auto parts store. The 5/8th inch hoses are a snug fit but a little liquid hand soap did the trick...

Well it's been a while since I posted, time to get caught up. Thanks for the attention to my pulley size, I have it on and ready to go. If it doesn't keep it cool enough I can easily swap it out. In the mean time on with the build... John Schriver machined my valve covers for breather holes...

Bonneville... Speed week...that's a car guy's bucket list item for sure! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Don't let a little salt get in the way! I hear it's gotten quite popular in recent years possibly with the Baby Boomers doin' their bucket lists! :laugh: Cheers, Howard

Nice work on the doors Jason. Do Australian rules car building require the side intrusion guards? You certainly have a lot of work just in the doors, nice detail. :thumbsup: Howard B. _______________________________________________ RCR40 #40

Re: Rcr gt40 # 14 for sale What's it like at idle? :shocked: YouTube - RCR40 Carlisle 2010.avi What's it like from the inside? Whoa! :shocked: YouTube - RCR40 Carlisle 2 2010.avi This is just a little taste of how Ron loads his trailer.

Re: Rcr gt40 # 14 for sale Ron's car at Carlisle yesterday... I took two videos but I am not up with how to post them. From outside at idle and from inside the car moving. This is one really smoking car...:shocked::shocked::shocked: That primal sound of NASCAR engine...

Tom, Not a thread drift in my eyes. You definitely are welcome to ask. I would like to know as well. Howard :laugh:
