that looks like a kit car, not from ford.

gt40's from ford came stock with a 5.4ltr supercharged V8, why would you downgrade to a pissy little 4.0ltr engine.

looks good for a kit car and probably saves a lot on fuel too.

 

[Smitherz]

Boost you are talking about the NEW Ford GT. The GT40 is the famous racecar from the past. You are right, the picture is an old kit car that someone is putting together for dirt cheap. It looks like a homemade go kart.

oops my bad, i have a softspot for the new gt

the kit car is a DRB (australian) kit. the original gt40 mark 4's were a 427 ford with webers, no supercharger. that's the new ford gt. and they don't call it a gt40 because they no longer own the rights to the name and didn't want to pay the fee! more pictures are on the drb website. 1uz: lighter, much lighter than the huge 427, similiar hp (remember, that was 1966 and 400hp was a lot).

good to see someone else with the idea i am planing to replace a 347 windsor n/a for a 1uz turbo which do you think will drive the best ? the windsor is fast but like most hi power n/a engines it dont like to cruise along much to its out with 347 and in with the 1uz a t70 and water to air cooler setup cant wait to get started.

Oz, do you have a GT40 tucked away with that 347 Windsor in it?

Looks like plenty of room for either a single or twin turbo. John, I know you have been looking into this for a while now......... stop drooling....

Hehehe, you're a mind reader David, but no, the GT40 project will be getting the naturally aspirated BMW V12. The Supra, on the other hand, is begging to have the blown 1UZ.
