Anders, As others have pointed out, there is not a clear path for hot air to exit from out of the front hood on the Pantera and this is a common issue on them. Hood vents will help a lot to get air flowing through and out. This is quite a common modification for Pantera's. Also make sure...

Jack, I read through all the posts in your thread and before I got to Jim Cowden's my suggestion was going to be the same: 1. Before you do anything else, change the throttle linkage ratio so that the throttle has to de pressed a lot further to get to wide open. That will make the tip in...

There are two completed CAV's and I have 1 in progress in the Vancouver Canada area. Note that Salina Bailey in Washington is working on establishing a Northwest GT40s club and is gathering information now from prospective members. Anyone in the Pacific Northwest that is interested should...

Hi Salina, I am based in the Vancouver area in BC, Canada and would be interested in participating in some of the events and joining the group. My track oriented, street licensed, CAV GT40 will be ready this spring. There are two other CAV's in the Vancouver area also that have been...

The C6 Corvette Z06 revs to the low 7000 RPM range with a hydraulic roller cam but it uses titanium valves, lightweight steel rocker arms and lightweight beehive valve springs and retainers. They have had a significant number of valve failures. The C5 Corvette Z06 also reved to about 6800 to...

Ron, if you have the engine out of the car it is easy to use one cylinder for checking a bunch of the rocker arms to check the actual lift at the valve. You could use a lighter checking spring to simplify the process and exchange and record the lift at the valve to determine any differences...

Andy, What is the spring rate that was used for the standard coil overs supplied for the year and model that Carlos had and sold and is the same as in your photo? Do you have the extended length and coil bind length? Thanks, Gord GordsFord Performance Engineering

Mark, thanks for noticing my mistake in my post #80. It was a late night seniors moment I guess! I want to make it clear to all members that my post #80 was related to Tornado Sports Cars and not at all to Southern GT. I have sent a message to Andy at Tornado with a summary of my...

Mark, Yes I do mean Andy at Tornado. Thanks, Gord Zonailo GordsFord

I am also at the point of purchasing mirrors and thinking about where to mount them. My car is planned as mainly a track day toy but licensed for the street for occasional summer use. I have also been heading toward the wing mounted location to view through the front windshield rather than the...

Sad news, they had a very good and very entertaining show! He will be missed by many. Gord
