AFAIK there's no manifold for ITB's for the later Ford motor, and the 8 stack in the back window is a lot of the looks of the car. Although you are correct 300hp is adequate with a 2200-2400 lbs car. I built my GT40 over a period of 7 years for about 8K per year, and this was with all the best...

There's 2 basic types of shifter systems. Linkage and cable. Linkage is more or less rigid metal connections from front to back. Cable is just that, flexible sheathed cables between mechanisms front and back. Cable can be anywhere but linkage usually works better if it's on the sill because...

Hard to say for sure, but that almost looks like too much angle on the steering shaft U-joint.

""his recommendation is to run the 1/2" bypass from the t-stat housing to the suction side of the waterpump."" this is correct. the large line from the bottom of the header tank should go to the inlet side of the water pump. If you have to you can Tee into the large line running from the...

If you have aluminum heads they should have small bypass tubes running from the back of them (on the intake) to the back of the t-stat area.

I found in my notes that to get to the bottom of the side seal edge it takes 5 qts, that's what I'm running with no problems yet but it does seem like a lot of oil. I also am running 1 oil temp gauge on the dash switched to 2 senders, 1 on the engine and 1 on the trans, (but haven't hooked up...

Dean, please, please, buy a vowel, I'll even pay for it!! ""I hope Hillary or Obama wins the presidential election. That I can be more like you two! That is sit around and bitch and offer absolutely no answers!"" Bet you didn't know in recent history the dems stay in power about 75% of the...

Spot on Bill, ""The Bush family is apparently very closely linked to the Saudi oil barons"" they have also been closely linked to the Saudi Bin Ladens going back decades. Osama's most primary beef with the US Gov was when they established the Prince Sultan AFB in Saudi Arabia which is Muslim...

Look at the bottom right of the screen Joey. It says CNN. Who totally PWNS CNN Joey? What is their agenda? You're being spoon fed only 6 flavors from one brand of junk baby food. Who knows what's in that crap ehh Joey? As opposed to the internet which is a buffet of every food known to man and...

Dean, I hope this isn't a mistake but once you start it's hard to turn back. I probably shouldn't mix the love of the GT40 with argument on other topics as I consider anyone that shares that love to be a friend of one sort or another. So I hope that relationship is not adversely affected...

The illegals are here because the (republican) corps want them here, because they want cheap labor. It drives down the price of all labor. They got together with the corrupt elite in Mexico and did away with many farming jobs there to further the migration into the US. The good jobs are being...

My GT40 has a hydraulic E-brake and I'm trying to find a single 3/4" pull type master cylinder that's compatible for the limited amount of space above the rear tunnel. A post in the brake forum revealed an AP reverse pull master sold by "Essex Parts Services" back east. Well I figured out what...

Don't know where to post this, it's not directly related to the GT40 but it is a mid engine V8. The world top speed record for a production car has been broken, it's no longer the Veyron, it's now a local (Wash. state) effort. The SSC Ultimate Aero. Not bad for 1/3 the price of the Bugatti. No...

roll pins are the most economical way to have a no-play joint between a shaft and other pieces. They are usually the weakest link, whether or not that's by design I do not know.

should have guessed you were talking about your throw-out shaft. in this application a bolt is probably not the best. A roll pin is used because it has a tighter fit than a bolt. Unless you got lucky a bolt will have at least some clearance. Clearance means movement between pieces, which means...

You may have already done so but locate your optimum hardware first, then design around that. The best is 7/16" AN eyebolts, but the standard availability is limited on the length.

shifter can be on either side Yes believe they are a builder, not a manufacture. They will build a kit that you purchase. cuz they want more/better stuff you mean electronic traction control? Some consider that a "bell and whistle" not enough return for the money and a good driver doesn't need...

specific tool with a centering ball on the tip in a pinch you can take a nail of the correct diameter and grind the point flat assuming you're replacing the roll pin because it's not strong enough... If there's no clearance for bolt heads/nuts, you can strengthen a roll pin by taking a...

very similar cars, depends which one you spend more money/time setting up. The GTM might have more torsional rigidity than a tube frame GT40 because of the tubing above the doors. The GTM also has the gas tanks in a safer location behind the seats. The GT40 can't be matched for aesthetic appeal...
