Randy, You do understand, Want and Need are both four-letter words and completely interchangeable. :)inj There are a couple differences in the EightStack and the TBI. The EightStack, the injectors are inside the castings that replicate the body of a Weber 48IDA. The injectors are situated above...

In a recent conversation with Chuck S on this, I learned he had followed the suggestion of adding the foam blocks to his RCR tanks. The results were 'less than stellar'. He said it doesn't stop the fuel slosh. Maybe he'll chime in and add his experience. I am considering adding baffles to...

Worked very well. I used the cotton ball method to put it in. I made an extension for a sandblaster to do the tubes. The longest one was 28" so I was able to get in from both ends. They make a tool that you can drag through to blast and I also see some comments about pulling a wire brush through...

Randy I used ZyBar to coat my last set of Cobra headers, inside and out. These are links to the site: Zybar Instructions The instructions outline the procedure for coating the insides. Very pleased with the product, however, it is not cheap. They also have a service that they will do the coating...

Is this the same as the SAE papers? They were gathered by Roy Lunn and are made up of about 121 pages. Various copies of the PDF have circulated and are probably available somewhere on this forum Paul

Neal Stanceparts also offers 110mm cups. Did you raise this question to them when you made your initial purchase or when you ran into issues? The ones that I have seen on a SLC did install the shocks with the rod down and the cups on the bottom/upright end. Paul

Does anyone have pictures of the front coil-overs with the StanceParts AirLift installed on an RCR GT40? I am told by some they don't fit, I am told by others they have them and they work fine. Don't know if it may have been a singular build issue or if the builders had to make modifications to...

David, Thanks for the pictures, nice motor. Haven't had much luck in finding the purpose of the boss. I think it is probably smog-related but not sure. I've learned some of the supercharger companies use it to mount their brackets but can't find any Ford brackets that are associated with the...

Not even close - it is on the passenger front side of the block. Exactly opposite of the clutch linkage area

On the face of the Ford BOSS302 block is a 3/8-16 boss, located on the passenger side, below the cylinder head. Most all alternator mounts I've seen use the holes in the head to mount the alternator/bracketry. Any tips on what this boss was used for so I can search out the bracketry associated...

As I await the delivery of my RCR GT40, I am digging into the lessons others have learned/solved. I am researching the front end of a small block: water pump, alternator, A/C compressor. I see all the modern approaches but curious how it was done on the originals. I have not been able to locate...

Randy, Most lifts are designed to work with a 4" thick, 3000psi concrete - the typical floor found in garages and dealerships. Once you've picked a brand and model, ask them for an installation book. That will outline their requirements. I doubt you'll find it any different. One caution: the...

Randy I am starting in on my 5th ITB setup and think I've finally learned enough that I don't get the jitters when I go to start it up. Some points that may help: Remember, you get exactly what you pay for. There is a reason for the dollar difference between SpeedMaster and Borla. ITB's are...

Harrison, A little off the topic of GT40's but your note caught my attention. In my past life, I was an automobile lift guy - Engineering, Service, Warranty, Product Liability, Manufacturing, Marketing and Sales. Did everything except accounting. My career spanned 45 years in the industry with...

As I read & search threads in anticipation of my build, I am running across all kinds of suggestions, changes, and Mods. One that caught my eye was the one by Paul Thon and also Rick Merz. They relocated the rollbar from the cockpit to behind the firewall. As I studied this, I've learned RCR...

Oops, Jumped the gun - Tomorrow is the day. I responded to my reminder, not to the actual event. Everyone get ready - Tomorrow Cake & Balloons

Happy Birthday, Fran Hall Been doing research on this forum and learned today is a special day for you Paul Proefrock

Alan, How would you describe the quality of the shifting? The one we are playing with is extremely difficult to shift however the car is not running and we don't know how much influence that would have over being able to go in and out of gear. We notice some 'slop' in the small 'L' lever...

Is that dark blue or just the way the camera renders a satin black? Colors in a computer image can be very misleading Paul

Little known fact, but it is true.
