Paul, What's a tickover? Something you need a flea collar for? Mark

This looks like a mechanical injection unit. It would take a fair amount of work to convert it to EFI. There is no mention of the bore sizes. The brand new EFI castings cost $1400. Consider this if/before you bid. FYI

Gotten a little off topic into EFI. But since I asked the original question I'll interject. I wanted a Weber looking set up without the pains that usually go with carburetor equipped vehicles. I figured 8 stacks in the back window would be perfect and programmable performance would be...

From Electromotive's docs I get that their O2 sensor covers 13.5 to 16 A/F ratios. While M&W's meter covers 10 to 20:1. Maybe Electromotive's new box will do this range? It doesn't look like the TEC3 handles that range though. Not having the experience yet I don't know how close a canned...

Wayne, You say the TECIII has wide band O2 capability? I did not see that on the web site. Mark

My ZF is spotless and ready for the initial test assembly. Spotless but ugly. Or is that butt ugly? Two things....... First: Is the some kind of bolt beautification package available. All my bolt heads have surface rust and a nice set of high grade stainless hex head cap screws would look...

I just got off the phone with the local Motec dealer who gave me these nice numbers. In US dollars. m8000____________________4160 with milspec plug________5460___for a plug m48______________________2600 custom harness___________2000 - 3000 But if you buy an m8000 and want to run an 8 coil...

The Big Motec ouch! In US dollars. m8000____________________4160 with milspec plug________5460 for a plug m48______________________2600 But if you buy an m8000 and want to run an 8 coil direct ignition you need the: expander__________________400 Latest E11 Haltech ECU for which I have no...

The Kinsler set-up is an example of what I warned against. 57mm TB bores on a 289/302? I have 55mm for my 427 and that's almost maxed out for a street machine running 7000 rpm. Unless you plan to turn 12,000 rpm on a 289 I would say those TBs are a bit too large. The racing 289s ran 48mm...

Hey Jay, You told me that your friend had supprt problems before. What are the circumstances around that? The factory guy told me they would deal with me directly and if I had any problems, they would assist. Maybe they are just trying to make a sale? You are running an Electromotive ECU...

Grumble...... It missed the URL for some reason. http://www.hilborninjection.com/product.asp?Id=338&CatId=38 Cobra story is off the front page.

Hi kids. Been off building and not checking the forum so excuse me for being a little late. My initial choice was the Imagine Injection setup. Recently I have read the write-up on Hilborn's set-up used on a 351 bored to 418 in a Cobra. My advice is to watch your bore sizes. The Imagine's...

www.panteracars.com has a bulletin board like our beloved gt40 one but they have a topic group dedicated to the ZF transmission moderated by Lloyd Butfoy. Anyone with specific ZF worries or questions might give it a look. Sorry if this is old news for some.

panteraman, Where did you get that spec? 900HP? Looking back into GT40 history the ZF was the good replacement for the Colotti which broke regularly in the Mk1. Once Shelby dumped in the NASCAR 7 liter monster ZFs went by the wayside in favor of the Autocar. I figured from that the ZF could...

A Cosworth DFV was a consideration for a while. Detuned of course. But that's a 3 liter not a 5. Figured I'd miss the low end torque and 4+ times the cash so I went for old Ford iron. One wonders if the GT chassis could handle 1000 HP.

I've built a number of different engines for different fast movers. My high revving monsters usually needed a rebuild after two years. Yes they were fun and sounded great but were quite a drain on the check book. I'm building/had built a 351 stroked. Victor Jr. heads, roller hydraulic cam...

Keeping on topic I'd go with the closed car and A/C also. Off topic: Is that an optical illusion or is that roll bar attached to the bodywork on Ray's Spyder?

Lloyd, I ordered a oil pan from Aviaid about 4 weeks ago. They were familiar with the car and stated it would not be a problem making an oil pan for the GT with a 351. They did not elaborate on the differences but did have a couple questions for me. If girdle what type. They did not know...

http://www.fiammamerica.com but they sound fairly wimpy when played on the computer. My Maserati horns are screachers. I want something that is truly shocking. Jim, is there a Fiamm model that equals the Maserati duo?

Does anyone have a source for Maserati air horns? I have a set on the Lotus and have never used anything that works better. They make an 18 wheeler driver jump and take notice. I'd like a set for the GT so if anyone knows a source I would appreciate it. Danke, Mark
