engine

Well, I talked to my tuner today and the problem I'm having with my throttle is most likely a bad wiring harness. So I'm thinking instead of ripping out the entire GM engine harness, maybe I could just replace the wires from the ECU to the pedal and to the throttle body. Anyone know a good...

As many of you know, my coyote engine in my GTR locked up on the dyno at Comp Cams when they were building the electrical harness. I sent the engine back to Ford for inspection and found the problem to be the Derale adaptor was to restrictive to feed oil to the engine. So I have it back and it...

Well I'm still in the planning stages of a GT40 build. But I really want to have everything lined up before I drop the $$$$. I've been pouring over all the stuff online regarding various drivetrain possibilities. I think I've got the trans down as a Porsche unit. I've talked with several of...

Hi Guys, I am building a GT40 using the Modular Mustang engine 4.6 liter with a single overhead cam. I am using an Emerald M3D K6 ECU, I have it connected and put in the various configurations including the Throttle pot. Now the Red light is staying on at the ECU, instead of going to green...

Hello all. Great forum here. I've been a member for a few years now and saving my pennies for an SLC. I have finally decided that this is the year to order my kit. I knew when I first saw the SLC, it was the one I had to have. What I have gone back and forth on, however, is my choice of...

Hi All My SPF is in build in South Africa and I will be speccing my engine shortly. One thing I would like to fit is an electric water pump on the engine, as opposed to fitting a remote one near the front end. Can anyone tell me if there is space with the available bulkhead bubble, or does it...

All (especially UK), Please read the items in the link and please put forward your view. In a nutshell, it looks as though the emissions relaxation for our kit/replica cars is being proposed to be withdrawn. It means you'd have to meet current emissions. I am also reading it that it may...

Engine removal the fast way

Hi all, I am JP, 47 years old and just bought a KVA project. Doing Ford Capri's for years ( resto, modification & tuning ) and owning 8 of them ( and some more Ford stuff). I am a part time truck driver and the other time I work in my own shop. My wife always wanted a GT40 and we where...

Just wondering... I bought the car a while back, and cannot get detailed info on the engine internals. Moderate power (250), 4-barrel Holley, conventional valve gear. Of course max revs will go well past peak power, but on our lovely deserted Scottish roads :-), I'm just wondering how high I...

I’m planning my build. I pick up my chassis in 2 weeks and I’m trying to get the basics in place. Very excited. The chassis is set up for a Coyote engine, but I’m still determining which engine to choose. My frame is set up for a Porsche 996/997 transmission so that’s decided. I...

I’ve been doing A LOT of reading. I’m picking up my chassis in January and I’m planning my build. Right now I’m thinking coyote engine but I’m not 100%. I’m researching what transaxle to use and the consensus is an Audi, Porsche or ZF. ZF’s are too expensive and the Audi 016’s are...

Jared's GT-R, build by H Craft Customs. GM LT4 power Graziano transaxle. Options coming, Trunk, Power steering, Carbon fog lights, Tail lights, Hinged trunk and Engine cover, Tuck roll hoop into A pillars, Wheel arches, Rear bumper, and Carbon Head light buckets. First task is to...

I realize this forum is geared toward mid engine cars, and that you often discuss rear engine style transaxles being inverted for mid engine use. I want to use a transmission that would already be longitudinal mid engine friendly and use it in a rear engine applications (A VW Super Beetle)...

I was very shocked to hear that John Nicholson passed away today. For those that do not know him he was the Nicholson in Nicholson McLaren probably the foremost DFV builder of his day and beyond. Like many Kiwis, John was an extraordinary engine builder and he could name many of the top F1 teams...

I'm working on installing the fuel tank and fuel system. I had planned to install a closeout panel behind the tank, between it and the engine. I then started thinking about what kind of temperatures the tank goes through. With the engine right next to it, does the tank heat soak? Ultimately...

I once got drawings of original 289" flywheel (2/3 -plate clutch) from some kind person here. However, seems I lost drawings some time ago due broken PC. Search function didn`t give any real results. Ideas where to get; time to make one very soon :embarassed: Waterpump; which type pump...

LS3 - Picture reference for connections - LS1TECH - Camaro and Firebird Forum Discussion My brother who is installing the same 525hp LS3 in his C3 as I am in my SLC sent me this. Figured it'd be worth sharing to anyone else unfamilar with the LS3 or is new (like me) to installing an 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...

Hi All, I have a 331 stroker engine with modified pro sport cyl heads 1.9 in 1.6 exh. Originally the engine was built with a 268XE cam from comp cams but this has now been changed to a 274XE cam from comp cams. Question is, are the cylinder heads, especially the inlet valve size suitable...
