Jim,

could you post some closer ones of the engine please.

Things like the carbs & throttle linkage, special dry sump & front cover, oil filter cover.
All the things that made the GT40 big block special /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Jim J6 is one fantastic car. When do you think it will be back together? More importantly, will you be having another viewing of all your cars like last year? Thanks. Gregg

You should invite over the discovery channel to do a film on this. This is the coolest thing ever. Its like having one myself, or at least as close as I'll ever get having one. I just love working one these cars and watching you rebuild yours is like being part of the process only yours is the real thing.

How about a live web cam.

Anyway thanks again, I await your next post.

Sal my friend and private mechanic is teaching my son how it's done. After teaching him how to sweep the floor and operate the expresso machine he handed him a sheet of gasket material and said: "We have plenty of sheets of gasket material. Make them until they're perfect.

The Bladder we're putting in 002C's 1947 fuel tank.
Jesse and the gaskets he made.

I am incredibly envious of your situation with J6...

You are truly blessed.

Good Luck with the project.

Cracking pictures Jim, thanks for sharing them.

Is the clutch a twin plate job ?
Just wondering, as it doesn't look like it is from the picture above.

Motor on Dyno. We didn't do any hard pulls, mostly broke her in. More than 500hp and 550 ft/lbs of torque.
