I purchased the BRM 17 inch wheels with the tires from a forum member. They are new and shipped to Active Power to be properly fitted, not knowing if the flares needed to be 2 or 3 inches. The rear tires are 315/35 and the fronts are 225/45.

Steve, your cooling system and the install looks great and without a doubt it will work. Keep up the good work.

Steve, is your radiator cooling system setup from Active Power?

These are some of the pictures of the chasis and body work currently being done at Active Power. The chasis should be powder coated next week and 3 inch flares will be added to fit the 12.5 inch wide tires.

You can always tap a small hole on the former oil plug and screw in an elbow fitted with a hose.

I spoke to Chris from Active Power who builds many of his cars with inverted Porsche transaxles. Use vise grips and remove the vent on top of the tranny by moving it back and forth until it pops out. Then use a 1/4 inch pipe tap that will fit perfectly. Use grease on the tap while tapping the...

CMS said it should work but I did not get that feeling and wanted confirmation. I contact someone who a few months ago finished his build with a Porsche 996 transaxle. He said he used just under the recommented 3 quarts of oil and plugged the Vent. His tranny is working great. All I need now is...

Thank you, I called them and they answered my question.

I researched but was unable to get a definitive answer. Its my understanding that a Porsche 997 transaxle takes 3 quarts of oil. By inverting the transaxle will it now require more oil for proper lubrication??? Thanks

I ordered the shifter cable operated kit from Chris for the 997 transaxle and paid $500. I’m hoping it’s a plug and play???

Steve, that is the way to go, take your time, do it right and have fun. The cooling setup looks great and clean. Your power is basically what I will be using. I’m waiting for the delivery of a new crate Ford Boss 302, it’s been on back order for a month. Last week I purchased a Porsche 997...

Steve, you are doing an amazing job, looks great. Chris the owner of AP is very helpful and can get most of everything you need at a better price. I just ordered the engine and transaxle adapter from him at a better price. My roller is still a couple of months away and he sends me progress...

I’m looking for a Borla or Inglese 8 stack EFI Induction system for my Ford Boss 302 engine. Please send me a PM if you have one available. Thanks

That’s one beautiful car!!! Enjoy.

Rob, Chris is very accessible and promptly replys to my many questions. His builds appear to be fairly smooth, avoiding complicated body and windshield fitment issues. I was able to keep my 62 Corvette.

I am not a fabricator or an engineer but can figure things out and follow instructions. I had fun building a Cobra many years ago and decided to now build a GT40. I did lots of research looking for an affordable rolling chassis build. I looked at the quality of several manufacturers and found...

Cliff, thank you, I sent Borla an email.

Bill, the Boss comes with aluminum GT40 X Heads and is a nice setup for the money. I don’t plan to race the car, especially in Miami’s crowded roads. You should have no problem selling your Boss block on this forum. Not too many good original blocks left. Thanks for your input.

Cliff thank you for your helpful information. I should be able to buy a Borla 302 intake manifold and transfer the trottle bodies and fuel rails from the 351 manifold?

Bill, thank you for the information. I’m using a new casting Ford crate Boss 302 engine supposedly a block stronger than the original 69-70. I will be installing the Borla 8 stack induction requiring the small diameter MSD 8579 distributor with an MSD 6AL ignition box.
