As much as GT500 drivers crash their cars, that's probably a much better option. I've heard the dual clutch is comparable, haven't driven it yet though.

I've got one...I wouldn't say it's worth $20k considering the ECU is locked.

I'll also report back if this tool will put a bead in .065 stainless tube since I'll be needing a handfull of them. Supposedly good up to 14 gauge if you go slow. Who came up with the name Jobber Do...lol. Well if it works for $59 I'll be happy. Demonstration vid

I have decided to move in a particular direction and not use AN fittings (not just $$). First I have a lot of 1-1/2" stainless tubing already, I'm going to use as much of that as I can. Another reason is simplicity. The SS tubing and the pump inlet/outlet are 1-1/2". Which for direct fitment...

About as close as I can get the radiator. Just need to build the frame to mount it. Duct will run up the angled bars. Not sure how I'm going to "seal" it to the top of the body yet.

I bought the 417 manifold and Pierburg CWA400. Now I'll only have the alternator on a pretty short belt and I don't have to cut my firewall. Pics to follow. Pretty easy decision there, though I Haven't decided if I'm using AN or hose yet. I may weld a AN fitting to the pump.

Has anyone used this block style of adapter? Davies Craig has seemed to move to this style. I think this 417 version seems better designed (and for the price). I think I'm going to go with it. Davies Craig Block 417 Adaptor block

Started working on the fan shroud. The radiator supplied by superlite is the one used on their gt40s. It's not the ideal size and the mounting points arent great...but going with it. I'm using 1/16" aluminum for the duct. The shroud could have been thicker material...but I have 10' of this...

I recently saw a thread mentioning spacing of brackets for mounting brake lines (like must be every 20"). Does anybody know if there are such requirements in CA for mounting fuel or brake lines that the BARR will look at? Any other odd things like this to be aware of? What's everyone using to...

Started to work on the fueling system. The challenge here is there isn't a lot of real estate to attach things. My goal was to try and use the tube chassis to mount rather then adding a lot of material in the open space to have mounting surfaces. Again using parts and fitting I already had...

Next up, the motor and trans mounts. The engine and transaxle has to drop several inches and that will be to get the CV angle to about 15 degrees. Not great but will hopefully do. The Apex was designed with the rear body fixed. There's no rear clam or opening. So a "cradle" was made where...

This project has been put away for awhile (kids & a move) and I was sort of dreading making the major changes required (or the money it would take to throw at it). But the goal is to just work on it and use as many of the parts purchased years ago as I can to keep costs down. Case in point...

Thanks for feedback!! I got wrapped up with work and wasn't able to respond. Scott those numbers will definitely help, it's mostly about making things work with my space and the body....more details below. Terry good point, in all honestly this car wasn't designed for the track. This will...

I haven't cut the hole for my radiator duct yet and wondering the correct sizing. I know the opening should be smaller and open up toward the size of the radiator to slow down the air and create a high pressure area prior to entering radiator (more info see Carroll Smith). However since the...

Thanks for the feedback!! Because of the reshaped combustion chamber on my heads, I knew from the beginning I'd have to run E85. All the parts I sourced should be E85 safe (filters/E85 stainless hose etc). I'm having the surge tank hard anodized since it's aluminum. I have an ethanol content...

Last question. Does everyone typically upsize they're lift pump return line size? I think I tried to save $$ and stuck with -06 (3/8 hardline) for the feed and the return on the LP side. I only consider it now since I believe that will contribute to a slightly higher pressure in the surge...

looks like I found a partial answer here on the potential for leaking...the answer is yes. SLC with Phantom I will need to o-ring the studs similarly. I will probably use a sealant on the gasket as well. My fuel is E85 only since I have high compression and 91 octane only in CA :(...

I have a pretty typical setup planned. Front Mounted fuel cell with Rollover/vent feeding the surge tank in rear with a low pressure pump. My question is has anyone seen issues by not venting the high pressure surge tank loop (venting the surge tank). I assume pressure will be relieved by...

Just wanted to share a link for those interested in Fabricating your own headers (and owners of a 3D printer). I think these parts will immediately be recognizable (and also the thought "Oh those would be nice if it weren't for the $$$$). The STEP files are posted in various sizes and CLR which...

Great work btw Glenn!!
