    Is it worth putting in a 427 side oiler?

    I went with the Borla EFI with the build they set it up and ran it. Got the same numbers as you with the carb, need to pull the paperwork again. I’ve switched two other cars to EFI kits and have had no problems with them. Most problems seem to be installer error where people don’t follow the...

    Is it worth putting in a 427 side oiler?

    Thanks for all the input. I decided to go with a Dart 302 stroked to 363 and keep the 427 s/o on the shelf for now. Life and other cars have gotten in the way this winter but wrapping one up now and hope to get cracking on the 40 next month. Now I just need to locate a bundle of snakes and...

    Excellent thread now that I got my hands on a SW 240A. I’ll try and download these documents on my computer later. Sad the photos are long gone. Has anyone gotten more resources for this pumps now? Parts or manuals? Thanks.

    Is it worth putting in a 427 side oiler?

    I ended up saving the SO block and building a stroked out 363 instead. Will save a ton of space and weight and pulls 550hp with 8 stack setup. Now I just need to get a pulley system with accessories for the front end so I can get started in spring.

    Thanks everyone. Figured as much but wasn’t sure how far to go with interior and glass.

    How far into the build before paint?

    Why would I wait until registration to get painted? I would have to completely tear the car down to get it painted.

    How far into the build before paint?

    How far do most people recommend building the GT40 before getting it painted? I’m wondering how far I should go into the build before sending out to body shop for final fitment of body lines and paint? I assume I’ll have to take pretty much everything out when getting it painted. thanks.

    Thoughts on clutch, bell housing and starter

    It will mostly be used for street, with maybe an occasional friendly track day. Definitely want to go with a steel flywheel. I had heard good things about the Kennedy bellhousing.

    Thoughts on clutch, bell housing and starter

    As my engine build is getting closer to completion at Prestige it’s time to start shopping for a clutch and bellhousing and I’m looking for suggestions. Car is an RCR, 363 engine and ZF trans. I was looking at the Safir package. I’ve read here it’s a good package but is a smaller flywheel...

    My gt40 is in storage until I finish up another car I’m working on and then get to it this fall. Does anyone have the measurements for the engine Bay Area? Trying to give him some dimensions.

    Still searching for serpentine kit - will this fit or anyone try it?

    In my search for a serpentine kit for a 302 based block in an RCR gt40 I’ve come across this kit from Vintage Air. I’m wondering if it will fit? The AC and alternator are on opposite sides and they sit just below the valve covers. Any thoughts? Note that the picture shows it with the power...

    Finally got my gt40….now the hard part

    thanks! I was worried about storing them vertically. I figured I needed to have them laying on a brace like they would sit on the car.

    Finally got my gt40….now the hard part

    I’ve actually been finishing up another car that I was building and am just wrapping that one up. I’m ready to order a 363 from Prestige to go with a ZF transaxle. I’ve been in planning stages only right now to get the engine, clutch, bellhousing, etc. Once I get all these pieces ordered I’ll...

    RCR aluminum frame coating

    What’s everyone’s thoughts about painting, powder coating, lizard skin, etc on the aluminum frame? I assume it will never be out in bad weather but do people leave it exposed, cover the bottom or do the whole thing? I like the aluminum look and would like to keep as much exposed but don’t want...
