    Building a 1/24 kit

    Nice to see some modellers around here. Someday I'll get through my 200 plus kits. I'm actually planning to build a Fujimi GT40 using HRM's transkit to build what I hope will be my future GT40.

    Dry Sumping and Lowering the engine

    Hey folks, I'm curious about something I've seen a few times on here. I've read some posts about people dry sumping their engines so they could lower it in the chassis. It's an avenue I'd like to explore when the day comes I purchase a kit, but there are a couple of things that got me...

    Countdown to our new Ford GT

    It's here!!!!! Sorry for the quality, but I took these with my phone. I'll have better ones posted when the film is developed from my Pentax. We got word the truck was on the Mass Pike at 3:00 pm. We were like kids waiting on X-Mas for Santa until 6:30 when the truck pulled in. I was expecting...

    How many guys name their cars ?

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] the 66 Mustang Fastback I'm currently restoring is going by the name "Godzilla" [/ QUOTE ] Joe, Here in Australia, Godzilla is the name we give to all Nissan Skyline GTRs. They became the definitive Japanese monster in the 80s after blowing away everything in its path...

    How many guys name their cars ?

    Well....the 66 Mustang Fastback I'm currently restoring is going by the name "Godzilla" because it will be painted Emerald Green. Also goes by the name Financial Blackhole, The Knuckle Deskinner, and according to some of my more unflattering neighbors, Lawn Ornament.

    Countdown to our new Ford GT

    I was speaking to one of their sales reps during a routine dealer transfer/swap. He mentioned to me that Framingham Ford sold their red GT to the CEO of Hitachi, and that the blue one is currently up for auction.

    4.6 or 5.4 in an RF kit

    [ QUOTE ] Tim, Even with all those pipes and cats, that thing is still impressive to look at. I saw your GT when I was there in March and I wanted a copy of it on my next GT. I like the 4.6. I'm sure there will be someone down the road that will design an 8 barrel manifold for it soon. Robert...

    Countdown to our new Ford GT

    Heya folks, A little update. As you remember, a few months ago I mentioned that the dealership I work at, Townsend Ford, would be the lucky recipient of a 2005 Yellow with black Ford GT. Well, I'm happy to report that we had our order pulled from the Ford order bank. The car has a VIN, and the...

    4.6 or 5.4 in an RF kit

    Ron, We have a customer at the dealership I work at who has his 2004 SVT Mystichrome Cobra serviced by us. I had a chance to take a good look at the Supercharger assembly and the positioning of the throttle body. The pipe that attaches to the throttle body on the Cobra bolts directly to...

    DRB GT40 #44

    [ QUOTE ] Very nice post and nice car. The 4.6L "Cobra" 4V motors are a little weak on output for the size and complexity, but are very smooth as you guys have found out and are good runners. Now the blown one you are thinking about is fantastic. If you are willing to increase the boost with...

    4.6 or 5.4 in an RF kit

    I'm glad to see the Mod Motor starting to get some love. A couple of things I'd like to add. The hot set-up to go with is definitely the 2003/2004 Supercharged Cobra. From the factory it was rated at 390 hp and 390 ft-lb of torque. Both those numbers were underrated, as Dyno tests showed the...

    Cammer engine?

    [ QUOTE ] Another use for the 4.6 32V http://www.koenigsegg.com/ 806HP supercharged 4.7L [/ QUOTE ] The engine is the Ford modular design (the valve covers is a dead giveaway), but Koenigsegg sources it's blocks directly from Teksid, not Ford. Teksid provides all of Ford's aluminum modular...

    Super Bowl 2005

    I have to agree with Mark. Maybe I'm biased, but it's gotta be the Pats. They faced the two "best" teams in the NFL and utterly destroyed them. But hey, I'm also a Red Sox fan, I won't breathe easy until Tom Brady has a third MVP in his hands......
