Well I scored the 1970 351 Windosr for a great price. Supposedly 86K original miles and the engine's never been apart. By the amount of crud on the outside, I'm guessing that part is true. I'll run it by the power washer before tucking it away. Now I just need a car to put it in...............

I know you can get a good electric pump for under $400. Then it's just a matter of wiring a switch for it along with the power and then running a feed and return line.

Sounds like I better go on a diet!!

$7500 for a pair of headers!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Geez, that sounds like a lot. Firefly is about $4500 for a pair. And I've talked to Chris Schneider at this company and they'll do a complete custom job for between $3800-$5000. Stainless Works Performance Exhaust, Headers and Fabrication And I'm...

It all depends on the valvetrain. If it is a solid lift cam, flat tappet or roller, you're better able to minimize valve float at higher rpm's and continue to have good power. Even a hydraulic roller will start to float the valves around 6500 rpm's. And you'll hear it.

Wow. I'd love to find a project that someone is selling. And like I said, I don't need this engine right now. I probably need it like I need a hole in the head. But I just can't pass it up if it's meant to be.

Well, it's been on a local board for a couple of days and he hasn't responded yet to my texts. Hopefully it's not already sold.

I just found a 351W out of a 1970 Cougar that was pulled years ago, supposidly running and been sitting in a garage since. Don't worry, I don't believe a thing that people who are selling engines are telling me. Great running engines are rarely pulled. And if they were, they would have been...

I may be changing my plans here. I keep looking at pics of the cars and the more I look, the more having 17's make it look like a newer Ford GT. The 15's with more sidewall really gives the car that 60's race car look. So now I gotta see if I can actually fit smaller rotors on a C5...

I want a Harley that as fast as a crotch rocket. And it should sip gas like a Prius and jump off the line like a Tesla in "Ludicrous" mode. That's not asking for too much, is it??? And WOW!! Aaron really has an opinion on a 351W vs a 289/302.

Looks like you're off to a great start. My dilemma is the wheels/tires in my planning for this. I know he sells 17's for the car and they work with the C5 brake rotors. But I really prefer the look of 15" wheels with the larger sidewall. I hope I can put slightly smaller brake rotors on his...

Thanks for all the input. Car will be primarily a street car. But I do want to be able to back up it's looks. My "goal" was to be able to at least hang, if not slightly beat, a new Corvette on the street. So I was figuring with a 2500 lb car against a 3300 lb. Corvette, I'd need around 425...

Thanks Bill. Stir the pot.

Unfortunately it seems like the only other place to put the mounting brackets is right where it goes from the inside of the car to the fender well area. I think you've got them about the only place they can go. Unless you can make the bushing bracket an "L" shape to move them farther out past...

Well I'm still in the planning stages of a GT40 build. But I really want to have everything lined up before I drop the $$$$. I've been pouring over all the stuff online regarding various drivetrain possibilities. I think I've got the trans down as a Porsche unit. I've talked with several of...

Is your car from Active Power? I'd love to see more pics of your build. Do you have a build thread?

Well, sounds like 17" wheels it is.

Do those rear tires require the 2" or 4" wheel flares?

I bet Wilwood calipers would if any. They're pretty compact.

This is the US. I'm pretty sure I can get anything I want, especially in the 17". And getting a speed rating of 149 isn't tough. But I know the 15" tires are getting harder to come by. But I'm pretty sure RCR has availability of Avon tires still. L 75 mph 120 km/h M 81 mph 130 km/h N 87...
