    I know, I know. I'm probably going to get 100 different responses with 100 different opinions. But I gotta ask. Looking at possibly a GT40 build. I was originally thinking of a 428FE engine for a build. But I was barraged with people telling me that I'll be tearing up the transmission in no...

    Hello from Texas

    I'm starting to seriously consider a GT40 for primarily road use and occasional track days. I have just finished building a FFR '33 Ford with a Coyote Ford engine. That project took 3 1/2 years to complete. I don't think I want to spend that much time again on a GT40 or similar if I can do a...
