Well, yeah, funny you should ask.

We've just finished a new nose for the GT40 ...... the new design replicates the new nose on the new Ford GT.

Archie

PS there might also be some other stuff going on, I'll go take another look.

Archie have u started on the successor to the stinger project yet

Well, not yet......... I was just about ready to start on it when the PFF Spyder got in the way. I had already bought the donor car and everything, so we'll probally begin on it in the early Winter.

Archie

Your driveway, your garage, in front of your house ...?

Tina

I was right! First thing I thought was "I recognize that engine!" Is that bad, that I can identify forum members cars by the engine?

The secret is out of the bag that is OREIF's car

I believe you are right.

1986 SE 350 V8

Congrats. Another SBC on the forum. What are you doing with the 3.4?

[This message has been edited by Black-Azz-GT (edited 09-21-2004).]

I always liked your car, now even more with a V8.

The engine, trans and exhaust are already sold. To three different members.

Is that the stock Y pipe on your old 3.4? If not, will the exhaust bolt up to a stock y pipe?

------------------

Yes, that is a stock "Y" pipe. It and the exhaust pipes are just coated with POR-20.

Yeah. I was going to say the same thing.
I'll bet that's the cleanest, nicest, newest engine that Archie has ever pulled.

Oh Archie, you are a cruel, cruel man...

Ed

Here are the pics of the engine/trans/cradle assembly ready for the trial fit into the car. This is the only time I could get Kris to hold still for a pic.

We did the trial fit & then took it back out to remove the engine/trans from the cradle & finish paint everything. We did a little painting, finishing & triming in the engine compartment & plan to final install the whole thing by the end of the day tomorrow. This car is really clean & the work we had to do in the engine compartment is minimal.

My camera screwed up & the pics of the trial fitting didn't come out right.

After the trial fit we took the engine/trans off of the cradle & cleaned & painted everything.

This is how it looked when we went home today......

More tomorrow.

Somebody needs to do a sig for Archie

Bob

What is he doing here??? Picking or Toking???

So why are you swapping out the auto Archie?

Because the customer (me) wanted to convert it to a manual trans.

[This message has been edited by Oreif (edited 09-22-2004).]

A little off topic, but I could be helpful and offer to do that. Take a look at Ken001's sig...I tossed that together for him in a few mins.

Just send me a private message if you would like me to make one for you, then we can discuss discounts.

Remember, You also get 2 torque converters as well. One is a Pro-Torque street/strip set at 2200 stall and a reman stock converter.
So you'll need to decide which one you want to use.

I wondered if anyone would notice.

He's Masterpicking, ............. that's posed but he isn't very good at it, it didn't turn out all that well. We'll do better next time.

Here is what it looked like when we went home tonight.

We still have a lot to do yet. Gotta install the shifter, shift cables, pedal assy., hyd. system, front mount battery & cables. Still have to install the brakes, finish the cooling system, build the exhaust, get an alignment etc, etc.

But She's coming along nicely.

That is looking GREAT!!

It will most definatley be the stall converter.

Maybe like me you got tired of that 3.4 and jumped to major league power. Congratulations But no A/C?? I guess you don't need it as much as we down here
