Hello,
We have recently imported in Europe a GT40 MK1 with a Roush 427 IR (8 stack fuel injection system) - 560 HP. The car has only 200 Miles on the clock.
The car is working fine, engine starts first try, pulls strong as you can expect from a 560 HP unit, it is working like it should.
Everything is fine until the engine gets warm and then if we are caught in a traffic jam, or even riding at low speed in town and stopping frequently at lights, the car will start to work bad and finally stalls. Then it is impossible to start it again. We had to trail it twice, let it get cold and then it started again.
We have checked what we could on the engine itself and injection system, but everything seems to work fine. It seems the headers are very close to the starter and might cause some troubles once the engine is warm but it does not explain the stall issue.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Eric
