My car.......

Hey Guys n Gals......

Apart from..... nom nom nom nom..... I kill u all.........

Thought you might like to see a little project of mine....

Its a replica of a 1966 GT40, all the chassis is made to the original specifications and I have a Ford 1972 302 block which is powering the thing. The rear clip is original (and no it will not stay yellow). Its taken 3 years to get to this point and the only thing slowing me down is the amount of money required to buy all the parts.



These Webers cost both my legs.........thats why I crawl around on my stomach killing you all.



C u on the server

eww ford its mopar or no car

but has mopar won Le Mans 4 years running??????

has ford ever set a world lap time on the nurburgring with a street car...i think not

Welcome to the mid-engine club

Yea, we all love an engine in the middle.....

This is what I'm aiming for... space is a little tight and no straight through exhausts, UK law dictates a silencer box......

Bah humbug.......



Any you guys n gals got pics of your cars??????

dont have car yet hope u get it done soon

Wow... that is truly a beautiful car (replica or not).
Probably one of my favorites.
Good luck with it, and make sure you get us some pics when it's all done!

Oh Jesus... Gt40 is a SWEET Ride... damn car finished like 2 hours ahead of the rest of the Comp if my mind servers me correctly

Your dropping the Original 302 style engine in to it? why dont you try rebuilding a Boss 429 engine (personal fav... my dad had one the 1969 model)

The 429 was put in the Mk II GT40 and would require a custom transaxle gearbox, the original gearbox I need for the 302 costs about $11,000 and the one for a 429 is about $30,000-40,000 I aint got that sort of money......

Holy Jesus man... 30-40g's!? Yeah stick with the 302.... what else are you planning to do to the engine?

The 302 block is a 1972 'mexican block' slightly stiffer 2 bolt mains and a higher nickle content steel.

I want to put a 302 (5 litre) crankshaft in with zero balance but might need to 'stroke it' up to 331 ci to get the balance. The cam needs to be 'mild' to allow reasonable steet use but with an internally balanced engine and also using solid roller lifters with aluminium heads and titanium spring parts the engine should be good for 7000rpm and I'm hoping for 300-350HP.

The car will weight under 1 ton so it should push my kidneys through my rib cage nicely....

No aircon, standard (well 1967 Autolite) distributor but with electronic trigger rather than dual points, and a repro inlet manifold for those 4x 48IDA webers.

Standard water pump+alternator. Thats about it.....oh apart from the stainless steel crossover exhaust system which will set me back a few £££'s. Sounds like I'm rich but i'm not.... completion should be before i'm 60 (I hope!!!!).

and I think I've just talked myself into donating to the server........... doing that now....

Wow... Very nice set up man! you have to keep us updated I loved the GT40 and I love all versions of the 302engines... I had even thought of going through the 12,000 mod of dropping it in my Old M3... but alas it never happend... Great work though

you should have used that 11k and put an audi v8 in one of these

thats my truck and i'm hoping as soon as i get a job to get a subaru gl wagon from my freind for next nothing to be my offroad project

like this one

Wow... nice car man..keep it up !!!
