Dave, I won't. It was moved to the other side to accommodate the serpentine setup for the AC pump and alt. good eye! Mike

Ok, I am getting good at one at a time.

I am new at posting pictures and not all of them came through so I will try again. Mike

Mike, I ordered mine 1 year ago and it looks like it shipped last week. As you can see, I did go RHD and can't wait. I listened to all the pros and cons and just decided for me, I wanted RHD. Not necessarily for originality, I went with a 351 based motor, but the feel of the direct linkage...

Tom, We are practically neighbors. I am in Canyon Lake. Glad to hear that another GT40 will be in the area. I ordered a SPF MK1 and it is shipping this week also. Should be completed and on the road in the next 2-3 months. Good luck and enjoy the build. Mike

Pete, I will be in Davis later this week and plan on taking the short trip up Friday morning. Olthoff is going to do mine and I would like to see how Moody set your car up. As you know, the wait is long so looking at yours may fill my appetite for a bit. Mike M

Rick, Not mine! Talked to Dennis this week and I am still waiting for it to leave the factory. SA is only about 3-4 months behind from what I was told the delivery would be. Do you remember the feeling as a kid on Christmas Eve, that is what it is like once you pull the trigger and order...

Grady, I am waiting for pictures right now as it was scheduled for paint this week. Ship date is two weeks away and then off to Olthoff. Production has been slow at the factory, about 2-3 months behind from the date I was told at time of order. I guess all good things require patience...

Jack, I am coming up from Southern California and bringing the Cobra. I also plan on bringing my GT40 as long as Superformance and Olthoff stay on schedule. Mike Murphy

Dave, I believe that was one of the suggestions he had. Not sure if he uses Speedhut but I will look into it. Do they offer one in the same color scheme as the rest of the guages? Mike

Jeff, I was in your position 8 months ago. My car, #2307, goes into production in a couple weeks and I ordered it back in May. Trust me, time is about to slow down waiting for it to arrive. Your question was, Lessons Learned? And for what its worth, here's my two cents. I ordered my Mk1...

Alan, How is your build coming, specifically, how is the motor performing and our you happy with it? Mike

Re: Little Venting Michael, I have enjoyed your posts over the last couple of years, along with all the other complaints and praises posted on the SPF product. I have had a SPF MkIII for the last 8 years and it has never let me down. As I finally have ordered my SPF GT40, a few things I...

Ron, It has been a few years since I did my MkIII but it was a royal pain. I left you a message the other day as I am about 6 months away from where you are today. I have also met the guy Robert is referring to at Hillbank. For a fee, I am told he will walk the car right through the whole...

Mr. Spain, I just purchased my like long dream of a GT40. I would be honored to have a copy of your book to go with the 40. Sincerely, Mike Murphy

Thanks for all the replies. Please keep them coming. I specifically was vague in order to keep it as close to topic as possible without getting into motor size, and even worse, who would supply the motor. I have a SPF Mk111 already with a 514 Keith Craft motor and have had no issues. I...

I have searched old threads concerning alloy vs. iron blocks but cant find anything about heat buildup in the engine compartment. I am looking at ordering a motor for my SPF and was leaning towards Alloy but I have had two installers say, 1. they create a hotter engine compartment and 2. they...

Alan, I am looking at a similar motor configuration. Do you have it installed and running yet? If so, how about some details on the results.

Thanks for all the reply's. I know the Ford 427 offered by Ford Motorsports is a stroked 351 but I was very curious if anyone was running this motor, aluminum block and heads, in order to see how it was holding up and performing. It has also been awhile since I had a motor with solid lifters...

Is your car still available anf if so, where is the car located?
