Intake Manifold needed for Gurney Eagle engine. I have an intake manifold, but it is unfortunately a porous casting. I've tried to seal it, without success. Does anyone know a source for either a one piece, or 3 piece intake manifold? Thank you, Ron Scarboro

All, I guess it is time to out myself. As I've learned more and more about the cars (owning CAV170) I started to fall in love with the look of the early cars and wanted more originality (RHD, narrow tail, etc). After selling my CAV I purchased a SPF Chassis. It has shipped and will...

CAV #170 in 1076 1969 Sebring livery (I have and can mount remaining decals for Sebring including numbers). Because the car is LHD I reversed the livery, so Number decal on rear and bomber light are on the drivers side instead of the passenger side. Body & Livery - - Correct light and dark...

I have a Kennedy Bellhousing for sale. It is a 4 1/2 in aluminum bellhousing that will mate a SBF to a ZF/RBT Transmission. Johann said it would work for a Pantera in addition to a GT40. I ran into some clearance issues with my CAV and had to put a quicktime in the car. Pic shows mounted to...

Does SAFIR have a web presence? I've never been able to find anything. Do they build cars? I thought that was Superformance. Parts?

Apologies if this is a repost. Lifted this from a Stratos forum, but helpful for any do it yourselfer. An invaluable help when trying to decipher some of the Technical Jargon. :thumbsup: Haynes manual What a Haynes manual is really trying to say!! Haynes: Rotate anticlockwise...

A number of Gulf cars had a large light (about the size of the rear tail lights) that came off a Lancaster bomber (so I was told). Is there a source for these lights?

I chose to call this an "assembly" because I'm just not making the build commitment that many in this section do. I'm in awe of the ingenuity and persistence of some of the people on this thread. Although I have the tools and know how to build a car, I learned my lesson with a 1967 Triumph...

Introducing myself as I'm considering a CAV GT. Figured I'd stalked long enough without an introduction. Regards, Ron
