    Chassis mods on SPF to fit Quaife 62G

    You will also need to elongate the exit slot of the gear selector shaft. I had to cut out more of the chassis rearward to ensure the selector can connect to the quaiffe selector shaft. Very difficult once the gearbox is in

    Engine power!

    Firstly change your tyres!, check the date stamp, im guessing they are well over 10-15 years old and dangerous. BFG's were pretty poor when new, you need Avons. Second as has been said below 350bhp and your transmission will be fine . The easiest route to this sort of horsepower is some big...

    Creaking noise when turning wheel on SPF

    Hi. Most likely a loose wheel bearing, very common for them to get loose. Jack the car and rock the wheel and if you can feel the noise, thats the problem. Otherwise check for tyre clearance on full lock.

    Scratch Build of Jag XJ220 Replica

    Fabulous!, I particularly love the "S" variant, one of my all time favourites. What are your plans for the powertrain ? Perhaps the ford/jaguar V6 Turbocharged (as per the Noble M12) would be quite an authentic choice at reasonable cost. Please dont put a chevy ls in it :)

    Southern GT #48

    Eddy , a couple of points. Most people have run facets for years with no problems. I run a single facet blue top (480534) rated at 45GPH and it will keep my 440HP motor singing a full chat for longer than I would like to mention because I was doing stupid speeds at the time (Enstone runway). At...

    Thoughts on Keith Craft ‘Crate’ Engine

    Hi Chris Just a few thoughts, having imported and engine from Prestige Motorsports recently. Firstly the engine itself. What chassis and gearbox are you using? That much torque will blow a Renault and Audi box with spirited use so you really need a Quaiffe Box at £10K to handle it. Do you...

    302 Non CAT Emissions for IVA

    My engine builder provided a basic letter to verify my engine block number and block manufacture date, I then just had to show the IVA tester my engine number matched the paperwork. In truth I could have referenced numerous Ford books which provide evidence of the block numbering system, and I...

    I haven't got that book , its around £300 if you manage to find a second hand copy ! If you want pictures of the Gulf cars the P1075 book mentioned earlier will be usefull

    Literature on GT40

    # nope , don't bother with that. The Haynes book mentioned earlier is what you want as it has a dedicated parts sections with photos of the individual parts of the car (at least many of them)

    Source for pre 1975 302 blocks

    Hi Mark. I would hold out for a pre 1975 block and pay what you need to pay , it makes IVA so much easier. Try Ebay USA, lots of stuff on there, just remember to take into account taxes. Do bear in mind, having EFI does not gurantee you an IVA pass because there are many variables such as...

    '66 KVA GT40 - CKRockett

    yes definitely a KVA judging from the pictures. The earliest of replicas developed by Ken Vincent Atwell in the 1980's. I think he used to be a Ford UK engineer before developing his own Mk3 and then Mk1 replica. Don't worry about the continuation thing , if it wasn't made in the 1960's its a...
