    Vortec heads on a Mercruiser....

    One thing to be careful of is the corrosion factor. I couldn't swear to it but I believe the marine engines had the water passages coated with an a corrosive resistant process, at least they used to do it. Even in a fresh water boat or salt water where it is flushed after use, you would still...

    Tuning Holley 4160 - advice needed!

    I second the motion for going to a Quick Fuel for reasons of adjustability. This is probably your cheapest and most effective course of action.

    Fatal GT40 Accident - Please tell me this is not Toms RCR GT40

    My condolences to the families and I hope Tom will have a speedy and full recovery. One thing that I noticed in the photos was a lack of a roll cage...could the Emergency personnel have cut the cage off to enable extraction? or did it have a cage at all?

    More Global Cooling/Warming/Change hoax.

    And so it begins - Changes to 2161

    Re: And so it begins Ramps? - Here's what I used as an inexpensive and effective solution for use as ramp extensions with my car trailer. Very strong, Add Home Depot storm door handles for easier mobility. Just enough to keep the bodywork from scraping on the pavement during loading.

    '61 Falcon 2dr sedan into which I shoehorned a vintage T-bird 'Y' block. reworked the spring towers, used a full size Canadian station wagon nodular iron rear axle w/3.9's, 4 sp 10 bolt top cover T-bolt trans, short stick Hurst, custom drive shaft w/forged yokes, custom exhaust, interior from a...

    Which GT40 to buy??

    Not because it's 'closest' but because of license agreements to the rights to the design and manufacture of the original car. Gelscoe, others, are exact, or close as well.

    Another Connecticut nut job?

    All the crap happening here makes me want to move .....somwhere warmer, with far less media attention. What about Florida, Jack? How is your area to live in?

    I wont let exam results decide my fate.

    Well, the premise has merit, that is, not letting test scores determine where you will go in life, but it remains that exams taken over a period of time, not a single test, are an effective method in determining suitability for accomplishing a task. That simply means you may not be able to...

    Boston Marathon

    Maybe Bauermann should concentrate on keeping his finger in the dike. Had to edit this or I would have gotten a "point" too.

    Individual or group, I'm leaving my chainsaw's teeth dull just in case they find them in this area.

    Carillo rods any good for a GT40?

    Yeah, I tried to suggest this diplomatically, but........ Anything up to 7000 rpm should be OK with any of the proprietary manufacturers that have good reputations, Scat rods right in there with the best of these. As for the Nascar rods, they're removed because history shows they can't be...

    Al, maybe there a few 'tools' left over from the Inquisition that could be used on them.

    Boston Marathon

    Why do these f**king cowards prey on innocent people, including children? No compassion, no conscience,no feeling, just an evil desire to inflict as much pain and suffering as possible - their only regret might be that it didn't have as great an impact as they had wished. I wonder how many of us...

    Interesting police opinion

    Sorry Jeff, but I've got to agree with Larry concerning your comment on the unacceptability of input by police officers on gun control. First, many of these officers have criminal justice or other degrees from accredited colleges or universities. Next - When was the last time you went to a...

    Carillo rods any good for a GT40?

    Just my opinion but unless you're going for a very long stroke crankshaft in a 302 block where rod angularity approaches the extreme and going to run the engine at very high rpm, the Carillo rods may be overkill. For a normal engine, or when using a small addition to the stroke, there are...

    Just wanted to say hi

    Kris, there is at least one person on this forum who owns/has owned a GTM, a GT40 and an SLC and, I believe, still has the GTM and the SLC. I know he liked each but believe he would tell you, based on my conversations with him, the SLC is the hot ticket. All his cars have been assembled by him...
