Hi from NE Ohio

[Douglas]

Hello from NE Ohio.

The name is Doug, I have already made a few posts on here, been snooping a bit on the forums and am awaiting for my body and chassis to arrive next month. I am not going to post manufacturer...etc on here but just a jump start before I begin the build. Posted are a few pics of the chosen engine and transmission, they shall be mated with the KEP adapter. I already have it, I am just awaiting a .62 6th gear to arrive as I already have the ring and pinion to make the transmission, well actually usable.

Take care and have a Happy New Year!

Thanks for introducing yourself. I’m also a N.E. Ohio native. Hope to meet you some day. Keep the photos and build info coming.

Welcome to GT40s Douglas! Looking forward to seeing your Build Log!

Welcome to GT40s Doug. That's quite a accessory drive. Not sure of your build, but a lot of these cars don't have the room. As Randy said, please start a build thread.

Regards Brian

Oh I know it, I have only seen one other car on this forum actually get the motor in and he had quite a few modifications for fitment. Another build just sat it in and took pictures and abandoned the engine for another. I want this challenge and all around something different.

The build log will be started, (in the correct section once the framework and body arrives). I am 90% sure for clearance reasons I will have to go dry sump, but time will tell once I get the setup centered and aligned for the transmission axles.

Sounds good Doug. Looking forward to your build.
