Working through fitting Ford Modular 5.4 into GT40 spaceframe ....

Hi Manta22 ... What is the PCD and Diameter of the Drive Spigots. (I am looking for compatibility with original BRM Wheels). Also the Spacing of the Caliper Mounting Tapped Holes. ( I have Porsche Calipers). The same for Top-Hat holes (PCD and Diameter). Do you have any information on similar...

HI Dave ... I am fitting a 5.4 liter Ford Modular (Boss 290 in AU) with Porsche G50. Main issues are the oil inlet is very close to the chassis - and fitting the engine low enough may necessitate a Dry Sump. I can post images if you are interested ...

Thanks Ben, but unfortunately my chassis is too restrictive for the Headers pictured to fit. I will have to pass then up.

Hi Ben ... Mark here (again) .. my GT40 has

Hi Ben .. nice build .. your Gear Selector captured my interest ... I would be interested in where you sourced it and how you have found it so far ... Thanks Mark

What Gear Shift Mechanism is that ? ... Looks good ... your comments - would you recommend ?

What size ? Do you know their speed rating ?

For all those GT40 owners running 15" diameter and 14" wide rear rims ... Pirelli 345/35 VR 15 I suggest would be the best DOT approved tire available They would have the 'stretched' look on the 14" wide rim .... https://www.borrani.com/345-35vr15-pirelli-cinturato-p7.html

Hi Chris ... that is a really tall tire (33" / 838mm) ... could you post some photos ? Also ... how are you finding them on corners ?

I have the same challenge; I have semi considered Mickey Thompson 29.00*18.00 ET Street S/S Radial for the rear only because they fit They have many downsides: - they are very large diameter 29"/ 737mm and have an aspect ratio that is more akin to a tractor than a high performance road tire...

If you have crash ... your Insurance Company will walk away from you if you run non-DOT Tires ... could cost allot $'s

I have 15" * 14" Rears also; I have somewhat reluctantly accepted that I will fit Mickey Thompson Sportsman 29*18.00R15 A very high profile tire ... but I am not aware of any other tire except maybe (Hoosier) that do a DOT approved radial for 15" diameter and 14" wide

In regards to the Audi 01E Transaxle; its input shaft is above the output drive shafts, so it must push the whole engine / transaxle up high to avoid excessive driveshaft angularity. The Porsche G50 is the same as the Audi in standard form; however, as the Porsche G50 transaxle is inverted for...

Hi Urban ... Is the G50 and Adaptor For Sale ? If so, can you provide photos and Cost ... Thanks

Hi Rick ... No; I do not believe the Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R has a LT (Light Truck) Rating ... they do have other tires that certainly do, but not the Sportsman S/R. My personal opinion is that it is an older technology (Speed Rating = H is a clue) Radial Show Car (Hot-Rod) Tire. Which is...

The Pirelli P Zero is a much better tire than the Mickey Thompson; but requires 12"-13" wide rim and 19" diameter. Not much good if running 14" wide and 15" diameter rears.

Anyone got experience with these ?

Yes Jason, the Avon CR6ZZ is a road legal tire, but maximum width is 295/50R15 - which is pretty skinny for the back end of a wide body Mk1. Avon do a 15" 'Historic all Weather' in a 13.0/25.0-15 which is meant for a 14" wide rear wheel; but they are not road legal. The Mickey Thompson tires...
