Whats kripulating my fellow GT40 Phinatiks! My names Mike. My dream car was a Graphite colored GT40 with gloss black racing stripes that I raced in Gran turismo(the video game. It was a out of reach goal for a long time until I grabbed a fiberfab GT12 3peice kit a guy posted on FB marketplace and I just so happened to be curious about searching for that day. I had to keep looking in the rear veiw mirror on the way home a couple of times to see if it was actually there bc I couldnt beleive it. Now that ive starred at it for a few days and thought about what i want to do and how i want to do it, I can start asking questions and making statements. So here I be..
My ideal setup is to have equal to or greater than HP as weight, but im willing to accept less for conveinence. Only when it has the potential to be better in the future via upgrades(not a rebuild). Im going to stick to the mid engine rwd setup. But im open to other options that lead to the same result ie LS transaxel with reverse box or perhaps this 472 with 8.5:1 with a modified transmission to fit mid engine rwd.. I am probably early to this party.. i dont know enough about engines and things to make this happen on my own. I kinda just dove into this confidently yet ingnorantly for the sake of fun so any and all advise or expertise is literally priceless to me and Thank you in advance to any and all time and help yall offer up here!
