    Oil Separator/PCV system

    Who uses one and if so which do you use? I’d seen this which looks smart and simple to use: https://www.moroso.com/catalog/product/view/id/8318/s/air-oil-separator-kit-large-body85514/ With the intention of running valve cover to separator, then to vacuum on intake manifold. Will be running...

    What would you do? - engine spec choices

    Basically of the manufacturers offer internal balance 347 cranks :) I’m going to use a k1/rpm/liberty internal balance crank. From everyone I’ve spoken to they all come out the box to very good tolerances and good finish - unlike the varying scat and eagle versions. They have enough on the...

    What would you do? - engine spec choices

    I’ll have a look at the videos. Thanks! I’ll be going with the Quaife transaxle once it’s available again. Am hoping can get a discount through some contacts there haha. With the head choice it’s more down to the two CR options with the out the box options. It’s either 10.6:1 with the AFRs or...

    What would you do? - engine spec choices

    Yes UK, it’s a 1971 D1 block. No cats, visible smoke only. No mains girdle, not even sure they’re designed for the Mexican mains caps without machining. One piece rear seal yes. Neutral balance damper yes. Am aware of the different cuts for the pistons (is part of my reason for asking peoples...

    What would you do? - engine spec choices

    Right so I’ve sourced myself a good stock bore Mexican 302 block and it’s getting time to decide on my final spec. It’s going to be 99% street driven, 347ci, 6500rpm limit near on 500hp build. Idea is for a snappy revving responsive engine. What I can’t decide on however is heads and CR...

    Oil Pan / Sump Pictures

    So I’ve seen these options rather than the expensive Aviad pans. Thoughts? should they be fine clearance wise also? (For chassis and mains). It’s a Mexican 302 that I’m using...

    Block machining costs/time

    That’s a very good price indeed. Where was that if you don’t mind me asking?

    Block machining costs/time

    The £100 from real steel for rear main seal is much more like I’d expect. Maybe it’s a misprint on the invoice. Will speak to them and see!

    Block machining costs/time

    Hi All, I was wondering what people have been quoted to clean and prepare a good old 302 that’s been sat in a workshop for years? I’ve had what I thought was a reasonable quote of $760 to prep and machine the block for everything for my 347 stroker. I then saw they wanted an additional $570 to...

    After Brexit

    This was the basis I have been quoted on for engine builds. No US tax is charged if it’s being sent abroad.

    Steel vs aluminium flywheel - what do you run?

    Anyone know a company who manufactures a lightweight flywheel for the 01e SBF conversion? Ideally 20lbs or less.

    Gurney Eagle Valve Covers

    Hi Andy, What are the price of these now? I'm not sure of the clearance i'm going to need for the rockers as yet, but will only be using Trick Flow 1.6's. Any idea whether i'd need a spacer? I imagine i will reserve a Weslake pair unless i decide to go Holman Moody (haven't made up my mind...

    Steel vs aluminium flywheel - what do you run?

    it is going to be a primarily street driven car. my last road toy had a triple plate carbon clutch and dogbox so im used to tricky drivetrains but indeed it still caught me out sometimes at my expense. However the car was 600kg heavier than the 40 will be. The kennedy gearbox adaptor kit is a...

    Steel vs aluminium flywheel - what do you run?

    Ok can’t seem to find anything on this here so I’m after real world opinions on steel vs aluminium flywheels in a GT40. How do you find the light flywheels on the street? I understand the car being so light could remove some of the downsides of pulling away with a light flywheel etc. Trying...

    Custom 01E Gear Ratios

    Hi All, As we all know the 01E is becoming a more popular gearbox but people are put off it because of the angle of the driveshafts (I’ve seen no one report shaft or CV failures because of this) but I think more the terrible gearing for the GT40. Would more people be interested if better gear...

    ZF 5 DS-25/2 for sale

    I’ve seen 4/5 adverts online with a guy from Washington selling a ZF with these pictures and others suspiciously cheap. Even has the same text as this advert.

    What size head gaskets do you run?

    Funny you say that as it’s exactly what I spoke to the shop about not long after writing this thread, must have been a touch sleepy and wasn’t thinking efficiently. Actually tried to delete it as realised that Wiseco would change the dish size for a cheap fee and it isn’t considered custom...
