Hi, I'm about to start building a 289 for a Southern GT and would welcome some ideas in respect to front end combos (water pump / alternator / air con pump) that would suit a Southern GT firewall.
It'll be a 68 289 adorned with an 8 stack induction ca. 300 hp going into a Mk1
Cheers Stu
Ford Rangers are fab motors, I've got one too :thumbsup: Only car you can stick a tonne of stuff in the back, transported engines loads of times.
Stick with it, bite size chunks, each step is a step closer to finishing.
Looks like a really neat job!
Thought you were a sparky, first time I've seen cable tray used in a build :thumbsup:
I'm hoping to be in a position to order my chassis early next year so will be watching this with interest.
I've bought loads from the states and as a rule of thumb you end up paying pounds for the dollar price and some. Just consider that when you are ruling out UK suppliers.
Thanks for the welcome. I did a track day with the GT40 Enthusiasts club at
Donnington Park together with the 289 Register a couple of years ago. I think it was organised by Desmond Finnan. I live between Oswestry and Welshpool so about 70 miles from Peover. I may take you up on the invite...
Greetings,
Currently researching my next project and am seriously considering a Mk1 40.
I hope to gain some knowledge and experience from you guys.
Have already built a Hawk 289 so not new to replicas.
All the best from sunny Shropshire.
