    Does anyone sell chassis plans for scratch-builders? I have seen the plans from Chris Melia and Renee. I was just curious if there are any plans that could be purchased that are verified to fit a certain body?

    Flat Plane Crank Engine

    I have been in contact with a gentleman that has been working on a flat plane crank kit for v8s. Im not sure if it is legit or not. It is way way out of my engine budget price range. I thought maybe it's not for others. It is called SCG's Flat Fast Technology. He has a few youtube videos...

    289 weber intake question

    I want to put four 44 idf webers on my 293 build. I have noticed that there are two different styles of intake for quad webers. One has a single coolant outlet that looks like it would house a thermostat and the other has two outlets. Im not sure what is the right intake for a gt40.

While pulling the pistons I let one slip through my butter fingers and dropped it on the floor. It landed on one of the connecting rod bolts and bent the sucker. Now I either have to have...

    Wiring harness question.

    My buddy wants to sell me a 21 circuit wiring harness with fuse box from a hot rod project he never finished. Is a 21 circuit harness enough for a GT40? I will be running electric radiator fans of course, electric fuel pump, electric oil pump and possibly electric oil cooler fans.

    Hello everyone!

    I have been a huge fan of the GT40 since I was 17 years old. I saw a replica Mk1 at a local car show. The owner let me sit in it and start it up. I have wanted one of my own ever since. Now, nearly 20 years later I own a classic Ford. Unfortunately its a 1951 Ford F1 and not a Ford GT40...
