Tom- Do you have a preferred or recommended outlet for buying your book? I have four of your books, including my most recent purchase of The Racing Builder's Handbook. I will add this new book to the group. Thanks, Steve

Thank you Steve - the pictures are helpful. If you or any other hobbyist\fabricator has specs to follow, that would be much appreciated. Even if general in nature. I anticipate nothing will be forthcoming from SPF.

Richard - I could use pictures and specs on center linkage for the SPF MKI. If you come up with this, please help me out. Thanks, Steve

Re: Rcr gt40 # 14 for sale Ron- That's a great car and I'm sure it will sell soon! You're running about 110 horses per liter on pump gas. That's certainly very possible with the right specs. If at some point it fits into the sale process, please consider posting the specs on the engine. I'm...

Lots of good ideas out there about transaxles. I think it's going to take another year before the economics of building and servicing a product are reasonable. The world wide economy is rebasing, which IMO, means that the numbers for producing and selling a transaxle are rebasing.

You never know what's up until the box is open. Rebuilding the ZF in my '73 Pantera cost 6K. Work done by Dennis Quella, Pantera Performance, Castle Rock, Colorado. The only symptom was a little bit of grinding going into second gear. One of those "no problem - I can live with that" type of...

Ditto. Did that in the Pantera.

The price is now $61,000 for a new roller that has never had an engine or transaxle installed. Choose the combination that fits your driving style. The car has always been stored in a heated garage. The price is approximately 27K less than full retail for a car ordered, imported, prepped and...

Mark- Good job. In my opinion, your timing is on target. Our economy is rebasing - just like it did in '83, '93, '01 and now in '10. Except this time the outcome is far less controllable because it's a world wide rebasing. You're lucky to be out of a corporate environment where rebasing will...

I saw the U.S. economy "rebase" from about '82-'84. We're going through it again. The difference now is it is a world wide economy. The Institute of Supply Manager Index (ISM) is showing good improvement in the U.S. Looks like the trend for stronger business with desirable U.S. goods will...

I have a brand new SPF MKII roller for sale. It's in the for sale section here on the website. Completion of SPF cars for California has been done many times by www.fullthrottlereno.com. They have experience in working through the SB100 issue. Please let me know if you have any interest. Thanks.

Check with the block manufacturer for maximum boring. I would use the block if the bore\sleeve work meets manufacturers tolerances. Sleeves in cast iron are more predictable. I rebuilt a 427 Corvette engine with 12:1 compression. Two sleeves - no problem. If your block was aluminum and max...

Re: SPF GT40 MK1 for sale Dean- What type of mirrors are those? They fit the car well.

IMO, the size of the fine is related to the economy. The number of tickets and the fines related thereto, have gone off the chart here in Colorado. Colorado's economy, just like many economies, has suffered. Even though I have no proof, the harshness of the fine seems to indicate someone is...

Interesting - where was that picture taken?

Dean- Thanks for your question. Here is what I have. Steve

Jac- Please tell us more about your rev kit plans when you have a few moments. Would like to consider that for an engine that I previously thought would have solid roller lifters. Thanks!

That's probably good news. If it was an F1 motor from the factory, it's a late '98 or newer. It most likely missed the valve guide and exhaust manifold problems. Brass valve guides would go allowing oil to seep onto the valves and into the cylinders. The harmonics in the exhaust system would...

Jack- What year is the motor?
