Hi, I am about to embark on the major restoration of a 1989 GT40 Replica. It is registered as a KVA. It has the MK3 body but the chassis, which is stainless steel, looks like a special, maybe home made. It has good suspension set up all round, I suspect not the KVA standard from what I have already read. Unfortunately the guy who originally built the car went down to dementia and the car suffered too. Very sad. It is currently fitted with a BMW 5.0l V8 and UN1. I have a 1968 302 and another UN1 that came with the car. The 302 had been fitted in the original build. I have stripped the 302 which appears nearly new. It looks to have been a good build. For whatever reason there was a bent valve and 4 bent pushrods (over revved?). Other than that it does look really good. 289 heads, cast iron, ported.
I have owned a self built cobra for 36 years. That has a 427 dual quad in it. I have no experience of GT40's so a lot of advice is going to be needed!!!!! It looks as if there is an amazing amount of knowledge on here. I'm really looking forward to reviving the car and learning some new stuff...........
