See post numbers 255 to 261 of my build log. Bob Woods Tornado GT40 in in Texas

I would be very surprised if bed liner would do anything good. I used Lizard Skin thermal coating over the whole underside and then placed a sheet of aluminum over the header area with a standoff gap. I forgot who it was but someone else did something similar but better. I put on my aluminum...

I have discussed the radiator sealing in my post number 130 under Tornado GT40 in Texas. Bob Woods

I wanted to have a less-cluttered firewall in the engine bay. Therefore, I opted to putting all of my fuel system in a cavity in the engine bay. At the top of the picture in the cavity, you will see two rectangular tees that I made, one for supply, one for return. I built these to have an...

Shaun, I just used a 3/16" triangular plate welded to the existing shifter arm at the transmission. Eddy is right, the cable is the reverse lockout mechanism provided by Tornado. However, it is so hard to get into reverse anyway, that I don't think it is necessary. I am limited by the...

Mark, You really want to get as much stiffness as you can in the shifter rod. I have a Tornado and it has a 5/8" solid rod. I had to do several things to stiffen up the whole system. I first welded on a flat plate in the axis of bending to stiffen it laterally. Notice the 3/4" plate...

Andy, Thanks for your comments. I did something similar to the flaps. I sealed the edges of the shroud around the edge of the radiator and then I extended the center edge of the shroud down to touch the radiator (with a rubber seal). Thus, about 80% of the radiator is sealed under the...

I have prepared a full report on the radiator, fans, and cooling on my GT40. Now that I see that I can attach a pdf, I have attached it here. It was too long to put into my build log individually. It shows flow bench testing of the radiator, the radiator with the A/C condenser, and the...

I just replied to a question about Tornado parking brakes under "Tornado GT40 Handbrake Wilwood MC4 calipers. It gives a full analysis of the original Tornado braking system and the modifications I had to do to it to meet my satisfaction. Since I had to replace the original rear caliper that...

Sorry for the delay. I have completed my full analysis of the Tornado braking system. It is attached as a pdf. I had to reduce the front master cylinder diameter, increase the piston diameter in the rear, and change the pads to get the basic braking system to my satisfaction. The brakes work...

I also run the Borla eight stack with the Performance Electronics PE3 on a 363 small block. We also run it on all of our Formula SAE cars. The guys at Performance Electronics are very helpful and will probably have a sample map for you to start with. I started with their table and first tuned...

You will absolutely have to use a swirl tank. I wouldn't advise running on one tank. I connected the two tanks with dash 10 hoses and used a low pressure pump to fill the swirl tank and then pump high pressure out of the swirl tank. Doing what you suggest will require two low pressure pumps...
