Me too! But, it took me 13 years to build the MK,so I gave up on the GT40
Perhaps I should now be called 'Not40inches'

The problem I have is, if it takes as long to build as the MK, I will be 80 and probably not able to get in the 40
Regarding your build, a few questions:
Is this a scratch build? I haven't seen the struts going down from the top of the bulkhead before, are they cage braces?
A lovely job on the exhaust manifold
Do you have a build blog on GT40s.com?

I think this is your build? http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/39433-chris-gt40.html

it is more or less a scratch build bought a chassis but it was a peice of poo so cut it up and modified to suit
i have a build log on gt40s .com called chris gt40 also on ozclubbies my gt40 ozclubbies are a great bunch of blokes.
i put the struts in just to try and tie the cabin cage through to the rear but also removable for access probably not required
but give it a shot engine is a 351 windsor whith alloy cleveland heads that a mate produces the intake is a 1 of as no cross
ram available for my combo all made at home including the throttle bodys and ram tubes.not sure how it will perform may turn
out to be a dog engine ran 535 flb torque and just over 600 hp on single carb run in on dyno.

Great work and looks nice - but one must wonder at just how much power those will suck out of the motor.

Would be very interesting to see before and after dyno readings.

Enfield sports cars - 20/8/16 at 10:29 PM

Ivan the screens are quite open compared to a lot i have seen,but i do take your point.
i have between 600/650 hp to play with not to concerned about loosing a few,
probably not got the balls to use it all anyway.

I know exactly where you are coming from and have been through the same thought processes with my Cobra motor. These things are as much about audio and visual porn as about performance, all of which they have an over abundance of, so no need to excuse your decisions, just keep the posts coming.

I just asked in the hope that when you tune the motor you will test both configurations for the sake of education.

Enfield sports cars - 21/8/16 at 08:28 AM

have been waiting for engine tuner to come back out as he has only got it setup to run ,but i am getting a bit toey
to have a proper base tune put in. so have been watching utube tutorials to understand it a bit it looks simpe
but out of my pay scale,exhaust seem to get really hot to me as if it does not have enough timing or too much fuel
