Right, well now I am confused, I've seen some with satin finish valve covers and this one with chrome. Mine has a chrome finish at the moment. If you want to see the car it's on my website - www.shmooautomotive.co.uk Thanks for all the help chaps.

That's really helpful thanks. My car is going to be on display at this years Goodwood Festival of Speed and we're trying to make it look as good as possible. Regards, Ed

Hello, Does anyone have any photos or know where I can find them showing the detail of the MKIII engine bay? I am stripping and detailing my engine bay at the moment and want to try and keep it as close to the original as possible. Thanks, Ed

Can anyone help? Looking for an ali inlet manifold as per thread title. In the UK would be handy. I also want to get some Ford Ali Valve Covers. If anyone can help please get in touch, thanks, Ed

The engine number according to the paperwork is FC831259DS and the V5 still says Ford Taurus if that gives any clues? Not sure if this in anyway would relate to the engine of course. I'm not trying to make this into a 600bhp monster as at the end of the day it's a MKIII rep running on...

Thank you very much for all the info guys. Most of it is way over my head, but I will be able to use it as I progress. In terms of outright performance the car has plenty, and the sound is amazing. It just doesn't have that massive 'shove' that I'm used to with performance V8's I've had in...

Doug, Jac, I'll have to have a read through the old invoices and see if I can gleen any more info re the way it was put back together. Trouble is it was years ago so I doubt they'll remember it at Oselli. I'll attach a couple of pics of the engine bay and a link to other pics of the car...

Hi, My MKIII rep has the following spec engine: Ford 351 V4 with a Holley 750CFM Carb. K32-225-4 Comp Cams Offenhauser Manifold Oselli Engine Services Fully rebuilt the engine some years ago. Runs ok, but not been serviced in a while so needs doing on time rather than miles. Been told it...

Thanks chaps. I've rather chuffed with it. I enjoy looking at it just as much as driving it at the moment. Ed

Thanks Doug, Kelly, It's all new to me as I sold a Ferrari Mondial 500 rep for an Aston DB3-S replica last month, and then ended up doing a further deal to get the GT40. I love the car and intend to keep it at least until next year and see how I get on. If you want to see pics of the DB and...

A little more detail. it's a replica of the Von Karajan car completed about 5yrs ago. Car has only done 1350 miles so far but I hope to add to that once I've had it serviced and fettled. It's a very accurate and high quality build and the chap who had it built was obsessive about the detail...

Hi, It's the car in my profile picture. I'll take some more of the car myself and try and figure out how to upload them during the week. regards, Ed
