Wow, with that mild of a cam, the torque must be stellar.

Gorgeous! Nice job. I really like the painted valve covers. The TWM's aren't too sore on the eyes either

Mike,

Very nice.

How many miles do you have on your SPF.

Very nice. Where did you get those valve covers? I did the same "painting scheme" on the valve covers to my 442. I'd like to do the same for my 351W in the Cobra.

Default No teasing the guys Mike

SF firedog Mike stop teasing the guys. I want to see that SOHC aluminium motor in the GT-40. This is a sweet ride. I guessing 681 hp and about 20 ft more of torque. The offset distributor is a nice touch. Rick L. Ps don't break the dyno. Mike where did you run the throttle cable or linkage? Any chance of getting a couple of pictures of it?? Thanks Rick

Hey Mike,

Wow! Very impressive. I like the offset distributor - did you use direct drive gears or a belt or chain? Also, do I see a vacuum canister on top of the driver's foot box, and an accusump on top of the passenger's foot box? And it looks like the oil filter mount is also an oil thermostat...yes?

I see the black cable you use for the throttle...very nice.

You do good work!

Thanks for sharing,
Randy...
