Pat, I had a similar, but not so extreme, experience mating a ZF to a Dart block via Safir's SBF Clutch pkg. Everything assembled and appeared OK, until I torqued the Bellhousing to the block and ZF to the Bellhousing. Everything then 'locked up' and the crankshaft wouldn't move. I checked &...

C'mon guys, somebody take Chris up on this great deal! And ;), it would make an awesome Christmas gift for your wife.....

Pat, Not much help for you now, but I had Prestige install the Rocker Covers that I sent to them. They modified them as necessary including, if memory serves me, having to take some metal out of the insides for clearance to the rockers. My engine is a Dart blocked 363 w/AFR heads. Rod

Bill, those guide plates that Jean-Marc is referring to look nice and would appear to be effective also. But...I have never seen them for sale by anyone. Seems to me I saw them fabricated by the builder in a Build Log. Maybe Chuck & Ryan, or Tom Egli? Rod

Darius, Grounding: In order to save space and the amount of wires running front to back, I grounded everything locally to the chassis, including the negative terminal on the battery. Fuel tank senders: I had to cut the length of my senders to fit and then re-calibrate the gauges to read...

Michael & Darius, Info: Those holes came pre-drilled on my RCR40 as delivered in 2021. I don't think there is any other way to get at that bolt head to either tighten or loosen it. To date, I haven't done anything to plug them from the O/S (thanks guys, I've just added another thing to my 'To...

Chris, Standard RCR Cherry Bombs? I don't remember them ever mentioning those to me when I ordered/built my 40. I purchased the 'snakes' from them but no mufflers. Got a picture? Rod

Joe, 401338

I used a product called Sharkhide on the engine compartment of my Cobra replica. After almost 10 years, it still looks great. Easy to apply, just clean/prep the aluminum and wipe this stuff on with a cloth. It dries quickly and your done.

Pat, You're definitely going to have to do something with that Oil Filter sticking out the side of the engine block on your RCR40. I tried everything I could think of to keep it there, shorter filter, 90 degree adapter, etc., but nothing fit in there along with everything else. I also didn't...

Randy, I feel the pain. It took a few months after receiving my car to get the remainder of the components, most of which were shipped to me directly from the supplier. Believe me though, it's worth the wait. It's worth the wait! Pat, I fabricated an adjustment arm out of some steel stock...

Picture of my CVF v-belt system with RCR bracket mounted A/C compressor.

Always a monkey wrench thrown in somewhere on these things. My Sanden came with a double v-belt pulley, but I'm only using one of the grooves. Maybe contact either RCR or Sanden directly to swap out? I did use the RCR bracket which initially did not come with my kit. It mounts the...

I always get a chuckle when I see references to "Painless" or EZ-Wiring".

Darius, Have you checked your front clip & nostril installation with all the up front stuff mounted? I had to lower the a/c dryer (or whatever that tubular black thing is called) because of interference with the nostril.

They must have copied those tail lights from my car........

Brian, I really like the look of that one! The only possible drawback that I see is the degree of side to side range looks a bit narrow with the camera mounted in that alcove? Not sure if it would be enough to eliminate the blind spots. Play with it some and keep us informed. Rod

Unfortunately, this is about the only thing in my build that I didn't take a bunch of pictures of while doing this. It was really easy though. I found the Satellite Antenna Mount (2008 Infinity G37 # 228208-CF40) on eBay. The Rear Camera is the one that came with the Vantop H610. I removed...

Blas, pm'd you
