Yes, he was from Norway. He used to work with me in Halliburton. The car was REALLY tail heavy. It took both of us hanging on my quick jack to get the rear off the ground and I thought the jack was going to bend. The Ricardo moved the engine further forward and up with all the extra weight...

So, straight from the owner himself, Gray says... 'He' being his father. He bought the car in the early 90,s (92 maybe? I'll have to look). before that the car had been at a driving school in France. The history of the car is well documented through the first 2 owners; Solar Productions and...

That would be fantastic if you could find more information for my son in law. We even approached Nick Mason at the Pebble Beach show a year ago about Nick possibly owning it at one time. He remembered the car and said he probably did own it for maybe two weeks or so... Seems he had...

I asked and he's not sure. There are some holes in the ownership trail he has... What time frame would this be? Thanks, Kirby

Nice pic of the B16. I've forwarded it to Gray, the owner. :-) Thanks! Kirby

That's his B16! He was running both cars at CotA last month and had a blast. Haven't heard how he did at Daytona. Thanks, Kirby

A Chevron, eh? Red B16 or a yellow B26? Both belong to my son in law. He is there over the weekend. FWIW, Kirby

It played on my MacBook Pro with no drama....

Re: Replica/Kit Makes : superformance gt40 superformance gt40 gt-40 gt40 mk2 ford gt4 Yes, that would help! I, as I've mentioned, made up solid metal parts to fit into the same place to replace the rubber bits. Worked great for me. FWIW, Kirby

Re: Replica/Kit Makes : superformance gt40 superformance gt40 gt-40 gt40 mk2 ford gt4 I think he has a motor mount problem... or a clearance issue. Is that not the alternator or something rubbing when he shifts? But she admits she was not prepared for that.... :thumbsup: FWIW, Kirby

I'm getting into this thread late.... I'm 6' 2", 36" inseam and weigh 210 or so. I have an SPF GT40. With the stock 'seats', I could not sit in the car either, but with judicious slicing and reducing the foam, I could. I ended up making my own seats using aluminum sheet and foam and...

Flywheel

Gee.... I haven't numbered them, Jack! :stunned: #1921, the red race car, has the 'Leonard motor' that I described a little bit ago. #1661, the silver street car, has the Keith Craft 'Clevor' motor. Dylan's Pantera will have a 377 Cleveland in it. The GT40 has a 'Leonard motor' in...

Nope, this is the race car motor that got hot at TWS weeks ago. I had done a compression check and #4 was getting water in it. I finally got around to pulling the head and the gasket had let go. It was built by Leonard Vascholtz in Colorado over 10 years ago. I actually know very little about...

I got the right head off this weekend and the head gasket had gone. Everything looks good, so I'm going to pull the other one, put new gaskets on and put it back together. Why did it fail? Don't know... FWIW, Kirby

Nice meeting you!

It has studs, as far as I know. I actually know far too little about the car, but as I fix things, I'm learning. It's a 9.5" SVO iron block, just like my GT40, but the Pantera has A3 heads on it. What I do know is that it is 431ci (definitely not vintage legal!), dyno'd at 705HP and has to run...

If you're in Hempstead, you can't be more than an hour away, methinks. My address is 6902 Windcrest Estates Ct, Magnolia 77354. I'll be home all weekend mowing grass, cleaning the yard and working on cars. :laugh: Regards, Kirby

Thanks, Don. My intention is to join Tom Upton with his Pantera with CVAR vintage racing. I am determined to have the Pantera going well for their September school event at TWS so I can get my racing license. I have incentive, as they say. Thanks again, Kirby

Motor is a 9.5" SVO iron block, B351 aluminum heads, 427ci, solid roller cam, TWM throttle bodies, Electromotive TEC3r ECU. There are pictures of components and stuff on my website. It dyno'd at 544HP. ZF is straight out of a Pantera with a 4.22, but 5th gear is .642. As far as the length...
