Brian: Testing 1, 2, 3, 4... Here few pics; first time i try to put fotos in the net... :shy: Picasa-verkkoalbumit - Jyrki - escosw No fotos yet of three door (standard except 17" BBS RS -style wheels)

Cars: - 3 door "whale-tail" 1986 model Sierra RS Cosworth. I bought it at very reasonable price in 1991 / 50 thousand km`s in clock. I drove it last time in 1998... Total production was 5054, over half were RHD`s and 500 were bases for RS500. I have all RS500 parts for it too; from engine to...

Nice one Doc! I like 427 -body too, but this is so "beautifull original british" -style Your rear axle was a real bargain. Price was under w/o LSD -level.... It is old model 3,0 Atlas, maybe from mk1 Capri. If so, it`s narrower than mk2/3, but a little bit wider than Escort Narrow Atlas...

Thanks guys! Now I can do more calculations.... :shy:

Need to found basic outside dimensions (size) for few Ford engines; 289/302, 351, "385" -series 429/460. Block width/lenght etc. Didn`t found from net (Google etc). Does someone know good sites for that? Don`t have now chances take figures of smallblock. 460 isn`t bad problem; having mate`s...

Gary is in better place now, without any pains and problems, wawing to us down here... My deepest sympathy to Gary`s family and friends

Hi Adrian, You better ask price for monocoque -version directly from Goran Olsson. He`ll answer to e-mails, sometimes with little delay (so much work :thumbsup: ) And, of course, you can call him. Goran speaks english.

Gloster Meteor: First operation against V1`s was 27. july1944. First (two) "kills" 04. august 1944. Total 14 V1 bomb "kills" in WW2 Gloster wasn`t use in foreign countries in WW2 - "top secret stuff" Info from two WW2 / aviation book.

Re: Chassie drawings/blueprints? Hi I have noticed that original blueprints are like a holy graal for GT40 nuts... Few guys claims that they have copies, here too, usually nobody believes them :rolleyes: In short, maybe mission impossible, but let hope someone can help you :)

I bought last x-mast for my younger son (14 months) that light blue one Hottie too. Sorry, can`t add pics yet... Technical problems. Note; GT40 was best in last weeks (unofficial-our family) Finnish national Hot wheels speed&jump competition at my place. GT40 wasn`t fastest car, Daytona Cobra...

I have done mainly Ford euro 4-bangers & V6`s, so i have "few" black points doing good old 289-351W Ford V8`s. Time to learn more. Main question is; is that true you can do high revving "small-block" doing de-stroke for 351W with reasonable/cheap costs? If it is, what parts you guys recommend...

Ok. Sounds right; my theory was anyway absolutely dead :dead:, if you have enough $`s to drive and own real 40, you must have enough for running costs too.

Malcolm Maybe for safety reasons (/ economy, new FIA tank every 5th year); safetybag instead of very expensive sill safety tanks? It looks like "bonnet" is modified for tank too; little higher than normally?

Cosworth hub "ears" for caliber are only 10 mm longer than Sierra/Scorpio/Granada mk3 ones; is that enough? You may have noticed that bearing -inside- and outside diameters are not similar between "drumhub" and "dischub"; must use stub and flange (not sure about terms) from Si/Sc/Gr for 100 mm...

Yes, Sadler/Vestey drove in Mans -69, and with GT40. Result DNF

Found these: Triumph Light Blue P030-8013 and Marigold P030-3393 and/or blue PPG 12163 (ICI 8013) and orange PPG 60812 (ICI 3393)

Uh. "How bad could it be for a few 100's?" says seller -> current bid over 1k. Can`t be true? Or someone is really.... :eek:

Yes, they are really heavy. I used those in 80`s in my rally mk2 escort. Worked well. Better solution was Volvo 240 -series 4-pistons. Just little file for holes (1-2mm diffirence) and they`ll fit to Granada mk1-2 hub. Marginally lighter.

Dear Paolo, I think Your things are still ok, compare to this; I`m sitting here in sofa, blanket around me, fever now going down after 7 days, watching out, what I see? Remains of what was 10cm/4" of snow, now it is 1" of most slippiest ice everywhere, pissing down icy 0-+1 celc. water...

Happy New Year to everyone!!! specially for those who answers to rookies stupid questions :D
