Hi Ron. I'm not associated with CAV. I've simply purchased one of their great vehicles. As mentioned ealier I'm not mechanically inclined so a complete rolling chasis was the only option for me. Hence my earlier thread about CAV to get as much info as possible before I made my decision. I'm...

Well guys I finally got to actually drive this incredable machine on the road for the first time last night. WOW!! This sure is different than my cobra. It takes a little getting used to with the set up that I have especially the twin plate clutch-- no feathering here. Also with the webers I'm...

Howard I think that they do the car no justice. I know they were required to fit helmet heads. I ordered my CAV Gulf spec car without them. But of course what ever makes you happy. Enjoy!!!

Well guys the trials and tribulations continue. After getting the car to the local show and shine (see show time post) there was trouble with the clutch. Took the engine/tranny out of car and disassembled. Found out that the brand new throw out bearing was shot. The clutch line was replaced to a...

PatGT40 it's true. SPF are making a GT40. As for the specifics I don't know. Before I bought the CAV GT40 I was talking to the dealer but the wait was still a year away and no pricing info. If it's as good as their cobra (mark III) I'm sure the GT40 will be excellent as well. I will have to put...

Once it's all said and done I will post a full list of changes made to the car to enhance an already great machine, with the help of Canuck 40 of course.

Looks like the machine will actually be on the road for the first time tomorrow for a local show and shine and some intial testing. Full set up complete for the weekend. What a work of art!! We have had to make a number of adjustments/improvements to get this car pretty much perfect. A lot of...

Well the clip didn't work. But you can go to my photo site at yahoo.photos.com/frknfast under the cavgt40#2 file and see the pics I've loaded of the entire drivetrain setup. Enjoy and boy does it sound sweet!!!

Finally started!! Here's the clip. MOV00040.MPG I hope this works.

The complete drivetrain is in!! Headers are on (good thing CAV numbered them). Should have its first start up today. Next few days will be fine tuning, adjustments, bleeding of lines etc. I hope to take it out around the block a few times this weekend. Also have made a stainless steel heat...

Update!! All the parts are now in. Transxaxle, clutch, slave cylinder, alum flywheel, carb filters, vac pump misc alum fittings etc. The final assembly will be done this week. Should be ready for road testing by the end of the week and full blown driving the week after. May the car Gods be with me.

It's my understanding that 1075 is north of $10,000,000.00 US. It's in the states owned by the Walton (Walmart) family.

Holy Cow the transaxle finally arrived at the shop on Saturday. I actually saw it for first time today just after lunch. Now things can finally start to go together. I'm sure I will still be short pieces here and there for my particular application. I already know that I need a slave cylinder...

NEWS FLASH!!! The tranny HAS arrived. Finally!! Now STUCK in customs for full inspection (otherwise would have been at the shop today) Is it EVER going to end!!!!!?????? I guess patience is a virtue one must learn. ( boy it's getting harder everyday)

THX for the heads up Steve I will have it checked out. I hope they didn't forget the drain hose. That's a simple item that shoud be there.

Great News!! The tranny is going to be air frieghted today and will be ready for install Mon of next week. Hopefully it will be ready for road testing by end of next week. Finally!!!

pallison thx for the offer. I just finished my 2 weeks holidays and was hoping that the 40 would be road worthy by now. However tranny is the hold up and still hasn't arrived. I will let you know if the guys need an extra pair of hands.

THX JP. I'm trying to go for originality and I have a great set up man who is extremely educated with the weber set up. Plus he's close to home and open Saturdays. So any problems I'm at his shop in less than 10 minutes. By the way he has one of the original aluminum body pounders who worked at...

Just an update guys. The ZF tranny is still NOT arrived yet. I'm hoping this week and then another week to complete install and some road testing and carb tuning. Boy this is taking a lot longer than I anticipated. The biggest hold up being the tranny.
