No disrespect, your GT40 looks great in the video, but a GT3 in capable hands will not be "in the dust" and Olsen, if he wants, puts lap times in 996 GT3 Cup car territory with his '72RSR! In addition, I will say, kudos to you Randy, your 40 looks well sorted, obviously pulls hard on the...

A 1965 Ford GT40 On a Wet Track Is a Scary Beast

I have not had my half shafts off yet so I ask in curiosity, why can't the outer CV remain in tact, and from the inboard side of the shaft, the outer boot be slipped on first then the inner boot?

The description identifies the use of a ZF trans like was used in 930 Porsche. I did not know that, learn something new every day!

That's my sentiment too Mike! That’s because we’re smitten and have an emotional attachment to the damn thing. Looking at in sit in ‘my’ garage is much more appealing than looking at six figures on my bank statement or some sort of appreciating asset, that’s no fun! But true fact is, these are...

One small suggestion if I may, I upgraded my original Tornado issue breaks to Willwood and if I were to do it over again I would opt for 4 pot calipers instead of 6 pot. Both function and fitment would've been better. Tim

Received my wiring diagram today, promptly and a very well laid out professional schematic. Greek to me but at least any pro will be glad to reference it when necessary. Thanks Blas Tim

Pat, according to SPF order sheet this is "Gaurdsman Blue". On another SPF document I have it's identified as "Shelby Gaurdsman Blue" so go figure. Now, when I wanted to match the paint my research turned up more than one variant of Guardsman Blue depending on the model year and whose paint...

Sean, I don't know about the ride height but those two dudes eyeballing your car are priceless! "Ya know Earl, I've seen some ass in my time but what'ya have to say about this one?"

Keith, I'm not sure what would be typical because a lot of variables at play, i.e. M\C size, line size, bias settings, boosters vs non, pedal length, ect. Here are my readings, non-boosted and biased: Front 7/8" m\c Front bias med/max 600/1000 Mid bias med/max 500/720 Rear bias...

^ what Dave suggest ^ I've done the windshield on a couple of my cars and love the results. I went with a light tint on the 40 and was truly amazed at the noticeable difference. For example, the black leather dash in direct So Cal sun is, without exaggeration, at least 50% less heat with...

Steve, You could eliminate the slave cylinder and use an internal hydraulic release bearing. I'm kinda curious what flywheel you're using and starter (engine mount or trans mount)? Tim

I'm real happy with the one I bought from GT40 Gold Parts

Rick, what will you be using for insulation on the bulkhead panel behind the seats\in front of motor? This TempShield?

Invert the fuel lines to the front of the motor.....Olthoff did this one:

Rick, Is that really you! I know it's been a year since you've been in Texas but just today I read a post of yours on another thread and saw your name and I about fell over......is that "the" Rick Merz? "Wow, he's back!!" I said to myself. Boy, we really missed you here when you left to persue...

Bought my Tornado as a street registered running car, some 13 years ago, it is now on it's second 'frame off build' :lol: Three years of my SPF ownership has seen partial reassembly.......does it ever end? So Mike's suggestion isn't as ridiculous as it sounds, you'll be "building" the car from...

Trans: ZF or G50 427: $30K, ask me how I know. Of course cheaper if you diy

I take pictures with my iPad and get the upside down files when posting. It's due to the orientation of my iPad when taking the picture. try flipping it 180 deg. and see if that solves the issue. tim

thanks Paul for the recommendation. so it does read each sensor individually? makes sense....a bonus to help isolate which of the four carbs my be reading differently.
