Anyone else going?

Anyone else coming to the Coronado Speedfest (San Diego, CA) the weekend of September 27th-28th? The same people who put on the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca sponsor the Coronado Speedfest. If you're a car guy this one is worth the effort. Literally hundreds of vintage race cars...

I would like to install a reverse lock-out "gate" on my shifter. So, if I could see pictures of your reverse lock-out gate, I'd appreciate it. FYI, I have a BEC GT40 with a SBF and a 01e 6-speed Getrag. Thanks.

Who else will be going to this year's Coronado Speed Festival (sponsored by the same people as the Monterey Historic's)? I'll be bringing my BEC GT40 on Saturday. Coronado Speed Fest

Thought others might enjoy this: The Rambo Granny of Melbourne, Australia. Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down -- and shot off their testicles. The old lady spent a...

My engine has not been running up to its potential since I installed a vintage set of Weber 48 IDF's. So, I went to see an "old school" carb guy to dial-in my Webers. He said they are in need of re-jetting, but we need a good starting point...so I'm looking for advice. My engine is a '65...

I'm trying to find a supplier for the two fairings (not sure that's what they are officially called) that attach to the roof of the body that the doors fit into to keep out water. Anyone have any leads? Thanks.

So who else is going to Coronado’s North Island (San Diego) October 7th & 8th for the Speed Festival? Put on by the same people who put on the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca, there will be 225 cars racing over 2 days in 8 groups…and the pits will be open for spectators. They are also...

I'm considering adding an oil cooler to my BEC GT40 and am looking for some sage advice. I am running a vintage '65 289 SBF which is bored and stroked to 305 c.i. and produces about 360 hp/tq. So here are my questions: 1.) What should I use? 2.) Where should I locate it? 3.) And most...

I'm looking to upgrade to a set of Weber's. I need advice on what I should get. I realize what I choose has a lot to do with personal taste, but I want to spend my money wisely. Most of my driving will be on the street with occasional track use. My engine was built for high torque low-RPM...

I'm fairly new on the forum and have been busy working on finishing my BEC GT40. It has a '65 289 SBF engine which has been bored and stroked to 305 c.i. and produces 360 HP/TQ. Power is transmitted through a 6-speed 01E Getrag transaxle. Thought I'd put up a link to some pictures...hope this...

I'm just completing construction of my GT40, which is equipped with a 360 HP/360 TQ vintage '65 SBF. The power is transmitted through a custom-prepared Getrag 01E 6-speed transaxle. The transaxle is beefed-up and rebuilt (upgraded rear main bearings, altered spigot shaft and altered clutch...

I'm putting an 01E 6-speed in my Bailey-Edwards GT 40 and mating it to a bored/stroked 289 (about 360 hp/380 tq) and I don't have a clue on how to set up the shift linkage. I believe that I will need to fabricate a bracket to actuate levers attached to the shift arm. Hopefully someone has...

Just bought a Bailey-Edwards (South African) Prototype GT40. I need to install the drive train, so I'll hopefully be getting a lot of good information from this site. I currently own a 72 Pantera, 70 Boss 302, 69 Mustang fastback, 65 Shelby Cobra replica and a 95 Viper.
