Well they were screwed up enough to race against GT40's......

Ditto. Job well done!

He is one of the most interesting guys you will ever meet, and a good friend.

I have done SCCA and SVRA tech and I think part of the confusion is over GT40 reunion track time and being in the GT40 Race or the Ground Pounnders race. Track time would be treated similar to running in a track day event and would not require the full safety requirements of a race car...

Rick, Put me down for one too. Jim

Jim, I know that they are IDF's. Was just looking at possibilities and if I were to build a street engine I have heard that the IDF's are better for street than the IDA's. Jim

I have a set of 48 IDA's on my 289 and like the idea of having a backup set in case I need them. Trying to figure out how much more I would have to invest. Jim

Any idea what jets, emulsion tubes, chokes, etc., are in them? Jim

Both my wife and I had both doses of the Moderna vaccine. Both of us had a mild degree of discomfort after the second shot for a day, nothing to be overly worried about. Better than the alternative....

Looks nice Rick! Wished that I could have seen it in person. Jim

I have having an engine built for my 289 FIA cobra and my engine builder let me know that parts are scarce. Had a custom cam ground and the cam grinder was down to just two SBF billets. I have heard that Comp cams is 500+ cams in arrears and that there are no Dart cast iron heads available for...

I had an issue with valve seals leaking and allowing oil into the cylinder. Have you noticed any evidence of a piece of a valve seal underneath the valve covers? I had a couple of pieces of blue material on mine. Doing a rebuild of that engine, so I cannot speak to how easy it would be to...

It's not fair. I only got to drive it around the parking lot in first gear. Would love to take it on the track.

Well it certainly felt like that and I bugged Rick a lot about when I could finally pick it up. Ended up driving to Dennis Olthoff's to get it. The worse part is after waiting a few weeks for it to arrive, you then have to wait for an unknown period for it to clear customs! still, well worth...

Looks real nice! I am not sure which seemed longer, the factory build of my SPF, or the wait as it was being shipped to the US. You will be enjoying it soon.

So Rick, when are you getting a set of snow tires for yours? Plenty of good snow in the Buffalo are. ;) Jim

Nick, Thanks. I have shared messages with the person who purchased it. Hope it works out well for him, it probably would not have been correct for my engine. Jim

Nick, What heads are you running on the engine? Was wondering if the porting would match to a 289. Jim

It was a nice ride nonetheless. It wets my appetite. One of these days that will be me.

Tom, Thanks. PM sent. Jim
