I'm hoping to get input on solutions to a vapor lock issue. The car is a home built Ferrari 250 GTO recreation with a supercharged EFI LS motor along with a C5 style torque tube and transaxle. So front engine setup with under car exhaust and a 22 gallon fuel cell in the rear of the car. The...

I have a kind of specialized question about best practices for engines outfitted with a remote oil filter and cooler. This relates to my Miura project car that is using a Gen 2 Coyote engine in it. Due to inaccessibility for the regular oil filter location and a very tight engine room which...

This is the related question to the other thread about best location for oil temp sensor. Given the mid-engine location in my Miura and that there's no real external air intakes close to where the oil cooler/radiator will be located, I've elected to use an electric fan to enhance the oil...

I decided to outfit the Gen 2 Coyote in my Miura with a remote oil filter and external oil cooler given the tight spaces around the engine and that one of the headers pretty much wraps around the oil pan. I also plan to install a oil temperature gauge/sensor so the oil temperature can be...

I'm plumbing from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder on my Miura project. I started down the path of using 3/16" SS tube and -3 AN fittings. I then noticed the slave cylinder has -4 AN fittings on it. I googled it and found mixed answers on use of 3/16" versus 1/4" tube for...

The Miura project continues to be in a "hold pattern" due to our move from CA to AZ. The bad news part of the move is that there is less garage space at our new home than I had prior. The good news is that we have plenty of land space and no harsh regulations preventing the construction of a...

I have a situation where the headers run very close to key engine and transaxle components and also close to the firewall (thus the driver/passenger seating areas). I'd like to build in some heat management provisions and am hoping there are some who've "been there, done that". The...

I am in the middle of fabricating headers for my Miura project car and was warned by someone that single slip merge collectors can leak air in causing a faulty O2 sensor reading that leads to a rich A/F condition. So my question out to others that have a similar setup (EFI and equal length...

I'm at the point of designing the headers for my Coyote powered Miura. The engine sits transverse but that really just means I need to build custom headers because there's no chance someone will have already built headers for this application due to zero other cars having this engine and engine...

Does anyone have experience (good, bad, so-so) with the Davies, Craig electric water pumps and digital controllers? Specifically, Davies, Craig has recommended the EWP150 pump (150 lpm/40gpm) pump along with their digital EWP/fan controller (...

This is a build diary for my home/scratch built Lamborghini Miura SV car project. I’m about 3 years into the project so there’s a fair bit done but as anyone who has undertaken this type project will say, the majority is still yet to come. The original impetus for the project was to make a...

Hi, my name is Joel Heinke and I'm located in the San Francisco bay area, Livermore CA to be specific. I have to confess, I have an affliction that I suspect most of you have to; a deep seated passion to build and drive the highest performance sports cars from the 1960's era. I have built and...
