Going to route the vent line soon from radiator all the way back to the header tank. I read that 3/16 hose is appropriate, while others say 3/16 pipe. The difference is quite big, since the pipes inner diameter is only 1/8. Will the smaller ID pipe be sufficient for the needs? Cause it would...

What is the rough measurements of the "cube"? I'm about to make my own tank, but i want it to remind of the original in form and dimensions somewhat. (still needs to be adapted to my specific build)

I did a similar solution with two under the dash(one for front and one for cockpit) and one in rear firewall for the rear.

Yeah, should have mentioned the engine maybe Ford 302 is the choice i made.

Planning on buying intake for 4bbl throttle body for my gt40. But most i find are high rise version. Will that work with the limited height of a gt40 and an oval top mounted filter? Would like input and maybe a few pictures if it is possible before i order.

From ebay, just google it and you'll find someone closer to you that sells them. They aint cheap, but fits nicely in the clam reccesses. Measures in pictures.

The alternative i mentioned does NOT need any modifications, it fits nicely in the recess in the clam. The lower part that attaches to the frame has to have a small tab made to mount it though and can't be screwed directly into the frame. Attached from my own build down below.

This is the choice i made in links below. If you want them to look more like the original then you can heat them up to loose the color. https://aerocatch.com/product/325-2000-below-panel/ https://aerocatch.com/product/350-2000-above-panel/

If i would go about 5,7L and 7700rpm or there about? I was thinking 52mm tapered down to 50 or 48mm.

Thanks for the replies, and yes Randy, you are probably correct, didn't think of that I would like to see pics of the wiring looms going from chassi over to front/rear clam also, havent figured out a good point to drop over yet because of the high pivoting hinges wich in turn means alot of...

Does none of you have pictures of engine bays with placement of ignition coils and/or wiring harnesses?

A couple of example pictures to visualize what my thoughts are about. First picture is of coil placement, each side or firewall, second is engine harness, front or back approach? Low or high.

I am in the phase where i am starting to wiring the looms for the car, power, lighting, auxiliary etc. But i haven't decided whats best yet in two regards and would need some of your thoughts and pictures please. 1. Engine harness, wich way to approach the engine? Was thinking about approaching...

Hi, i didn't get a rear window when ordering the front laminated glass. Starting to regret that now, but want to know what other builders did. The surface that needs to be covered is not far from flat when i but a ruler on, but it does have a soft bend in it. Would it be feasible to mount a...

Yeah, aware of that. But that would be an easy task in the workshop after it would have been cut out :) And the 70$ girdles seems to be like 1/4" steel plate only, the thicker ones always come as kits and i want to buy ARP154-5408 and would therefore want just the girdle, but still a 1/2" thick...

Looking to save some money on the stud girdle for my SBF302 block. Tried finding a file myself, but to no luck. Does anyone here sit on a file to be able to cut out my own girdle in 1/2" mild steel?

Wonderful project, and a nice motor at that. Love the pre year 2000 alfas and motors :)

we have a build like that here in Sweden, it is very doable. https://forum.locostsweden.se/topic/13724-magnus-v%C3%A4g-till-f%C3%A4rdig-gt40/page/4/#comment-157297 Some modifications are to be expected thou.

That sounds like more or less the same space i will have in my future project, meaning that all the mentioned options will fit, even though some of them will rub your back more or less because of the tight fit.

regarding engine, what type of length and width do you have to work with? Thinking something like a VW W12(Or Bentley version), Mercedes M120 or maybe the odd 1GZ-FE? W12 being the shortest of them all, but also the widest. Digging what you are doing here btw :)
