Thanks Howard, I thought my location was visible. I agree it is important to know, if you want the right advice. I am in Gothenburg, Sweden. Or in Cologne, Germany. The UK suppliers are probably the most relevant for us in Europe. I would like to do what David is doing, and adapt a true to...

Thanks David, I suspected as much. But I guess modifying a tube chassis to fit a body, is easier than the other way around. I am going through the many build threads on here, and I suppose I it is all about the time you and effort you want to put into it. Getting everything from the same...

Hello Bart, I will try not to hi-jack your thread, but I am sort of in the same boat. I do not have a body, but I want the most authentic body available, and I wan’t to build a MK2. As your research suggests, the two main contenders are Southern(AK) or Tornado. Tornado states: The TSC GT40...

Thanks for the useful info. There are a lot of decisions to be made in the pre-planning stage. I have just been offered an abandoned Factory Five Challenge project at a very good price...so maybe it won't even be a GT40. :0 Although a GT40 is what i have wanted to build for a long time, so it...

Well, I am a bit in the dark when it comes to the terminology of american engines, ARP this, Edelbrock that, and so on. It all sounds impressive when you read the spec sheets of the manufacturers, but in reality I have no clue if an Eagle crank is good or bad. In case I don't go for the new...

Will look into Blueprint engines from Jegs. I have had a look at Proformance Unlimited, and even sent them an inquiry with the above mentioned link, to see what they could build something similar for. No reply yet. But their 363 Big bore looks interesting. 500 Hp, and 500 lbft, spinning up to...

I have definately considered a modern Ford. The kit itself is dimensioned for a coyote. I am not sure what the difference is between the coyote and the aluminator, but if they have the same bolt pattern and mounting points, it would be an option. They modern ones just don't look right, unless...

I have been looking at the different engine suppliers that offer turn-key engines based on the 302. But they all seem to offer Strokers, and not many Big Bore engines. I am looking for an engine that does 7000 rpm as a minimum, and is for track use. I came across this article, which had me...

Hi, after having followed numerous threads on this Forum, I am ready to have a go at building a GT-40. I have previously built a bike engined MK Indy, and I am currently tracking an Elise S1 VVC. With the GT Forte kit, and the use of an Audi Gearbox, a GT 40 build has moved into the price...
