It was one of those rare, momentary flashes of brilliance. ;) I just hope that you haven't rotated the starter motor too far, and don't come up short of space, if a second new set of holes is required. As long as you can rotate the starter to where the bolt hole ear on the flange matches...

Dave, I'm quite familiar with that tune! I forgot to mention that I changed the direction of the upper starter bolt, making access to it very simple. I drilled out the threaded hole in the gearbox, drilled and tapped new (larger) thread in the starter, and ran a larger bolt...

Dave, I had the exact same problem with my Kennedy supplied starter. You will need to rotate the starter, in order to get a proper fit. Pull the 4 flange bolts, rotate the starter to where the solenoid clears the main chassis rail, and make a mark to line the starter and flange in their...

$120,000 Euros???? Yikes! Should be a MKV for that kind of money! Simon, The color looks identical to my old car (DRB #35), which I had sprayed with Porsche Cobalt Blue Metallic Clearcoat. German built car with a German car color perhaps? Bill

A terrible tragedy, like that at Virginia Tech, won't change the fact that gun ownership in the U.S. is a right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to our Constitution. That's VERY unlikely to change. While I do agree with the Second Amendment, the necessity of having a high powered...

MKIV J6 Jim, Thought this might be of interest, since you own the car in question. eBay Motors: 1967 FORD GT 40 MARK IV INFO SPEC SHEET 67 427 GT40 (item 320101686445 end time Apr-15-07 13:21:21 PDT)

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!!!! DANGER, Will Robinson! Before you get too excited about Areo heads, you'd better read this thread. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-engines-induction/11979-32-valve-heads.html?highlight=32+valve+heads

Peter, Peter D is correct on all points. You will need the pulley, or the pedal effort will be massive. Your cable cable end should lock into a notch in edge of the pulley. With the pulley in place, you will be able to get get 270º or more of smooth pull, pretty much guaranteeing...

The Danish certainly are clever! You could miss a speed camera, and get burned, but a pair of these? Never! www.speedbandits.dk

Even with the "VIRGIN wool hairdo", Dolly couldn't get anybody at the Annual Sheepherder's Convention to give her a look, let alone her first shag.

A T-10 to a 1935 Ford differential? That IS serious "backyard engineering"! Certainly a different approach to a mid-engine "transaxle"! Thanks for the info! Bill

I was recently sent this photo, and didn't think much of it, until I glanced at the gearbox, and noticed that it has a pair of CHAINS driving the axles! Anybody know this car, the history of it, and it's gearbox? Just curious. The photo was taken at the Phillip Island Historics in...

The tunnel isn't bolted down, just set in between the seats, making it appear that there's no "go pedal" room. Looks like a pretty sweet deal, considering that a LOT of the hard stuff is already finished. Very nice parts inventory too. John Donnelly built some nice cars. What a shame...

DRB #35 is finally on the way to it's new owner, Dan Pfister, in California. I trust that you guys will keep him in line. ; ) He'll be needing "guidance". Sad to see it leave, but life must go on. : ( I feel like I've just had an automotive colonic! :o BTW, Dan used Stewart...

David, Go for a ride in a GT40 with a well tuned 8 stack EFI/Motec setup. You WILL be converted! There is no comparison whatsoever. Find somebody in the San Diego area who has an 8S EFI/Motec setup, and beg a ride. You won't regret it. Throttle response is frightening, driveability is...

Mike, Christian Nelson at The Engine Factory in NJ. Lynn, I don't know if you'd ever be able to COMPLETELY seal up the induction area of the rear clip. That's a lot of wires, hoses, etc., let alone the firewall to deal with. Being able to seal all that up and still be able...

I had a TWM 8 stack/Motec setup on my car, and dealt with the problem as shown in the first photo of the link below. There was no noticeable difference at all, with or without my home made filters. My engine never missed a beat, and had instant throttle response from 0-6000rpms+...

Peter, Your psychic abilities never cease to amaze me! Bill, I'll be checking in from time to time. This forum has been a worse habit for me than a soap opera for an old woman. My car may be gone, but my addiction certainly isn't! Besides, somebody's gotta keep an eye on you guys...
