Hello, I've recently bought an unfinished GT40 project and thought I should introduce myself as I'll no doubt be asking a lot of questions over the next couple of years.
It's a Roaring Forties kit and it came with a reconditioned 5.0 Windsor and 01E transaxle with wavetrack lsd.
I have most of the parts already, but I'll be stripping it back to a bare chassis for powdercoating as someone has painted the chassis red.
I need wheels (BRM), exhaust and a complete OEM AUII Falcon intake system with ecu for starters (if anyone has anything like this they want to sell, please let me know.
After it's engineered and registered, I'll look at 8 stack injection. The kit came with an Autronic ecu and loom.
Thanks for your time and shared knowledge.

If you are stripping the chassis to re- finish it, you might consider using Steel-It instead of powder coating. They only make it in two colors- black and silver gray- no red. It is a very hard, durable coating and it is weldable. https://wildpowersports.com

Welcome to GT40S Liam. There are quite a few guys on here from down under. Hopefully they will chime in and can help you with parts.

Regards Brian

Thanks Neil. I wasn't aware of that one. Being able to weld it and touch it up certainly leaves the door open should I need to modify anything later on.

Facebook market place in your local area will probably turn up something local. I did see someone on the cobra group also asking for one the other day "to hire" so sounded like something needed for emissions testing. I'm sure there will be one around somewhere.

Good luck with the build.
I used Bullet Performance to have my ECU for a Ford Tickford AUII 5.0 reconfiqured to work in my GT40, they could help you out.

I am NZ based but I will be removing all the loom/ECU intake etc from my AUii tickford 5.0W as I will be using the quad IDF I have from a 289 that I also have.
