Brent-
Nice pics. What cam is in that? That looks like it is going to be a real nice motor- makes peak hp below 6k and 600ft/lbs of torque at 4300! Any idea what kind of torque it made lower in the rpm range? If it is making 600 at 4300, I would have to think it is over 400 by 3000 rpm. Hope you have a lot of money for tires!**) |
Hope you have lots of money for a transaxle. ;)
Brent that is going to be awesome. |

Brent,
I know you'll love the engine. Keith's Pond 482 that he built for me is literally amazing, tremedous power, Z-E-R-O oil consumption/blow-by, no drips, leaks or runs. 2K mile on the oil and it's still so light amber in color that I have to put on the reading glasses to read it on the dip stick. What's the specs on the Comp Cams custom hydraulic roller? Dave |
Thanks for sharing Brent.
What does the engine weigh? |
GT 40 motor
Thanks for the story and pics!
I hope you post pictures of your GT 40 build. Dwight |
Keiths machining equipment is incredible!
Not like the old days....... |

Brent, Thats awesome. This is going to be some car. Of course all tax deductible right!:3DSMILE: Keith the build pics of the Shelby FE are great.
|
Brent,
You know the Mk IVs ran 2x4s inside a closed air box? That single four barrel just won't due. :D |
Is it wrong that I feel aroused after looking at those pictures? :JEKYLHYDE

Cool Bent.
All the picks I have of the 1967 Mk IVs have 2x4s. I know you have done your homework.:cool: |
Congrats on the engine!
The pictures of Keith Crafts shop deserve compliments too. What a nice set up. No wonder Keith has so many happy customers who compliment him all the time. I'd like to take a vacation there! I need a napkin to wipe up all the drool. |
Sweet Motor Brent
Brent Mills Brent that's one strong motor you have. You you going to use a drysump in the car? for ground clearance? You think the cobr was a handful, wait until you get this hooked up in a GT. You you getting the parachute and diapher options?:eek::rolleyes::):) You know that with the right gearing you are looking in the 220mph range.%/. What is the torque rating on the 930 box? You might be pushing the limit. I will thinking that a TWM setup of 58's would setthat motor off really nice. (see other thread from SF Firedog on 511 motor) Rick L.

Rick, the same thought about the pan crossed my mind although the pic gives a distorted view of the pan depth. FE's sit nose high in GT to the tune of around 3° so it may be OK.
Two Holleys are the 'right' look for induction ;), but hell who cares, damn thing will be that quick nobody will be able to keep up to see under the hood/clip. |

The looks lf the Mk IV has grown on me real quick. I like it better than the Mk II now.:cool: |
Congrats Brent, I have basically the same engine coming as well.
Your pics are great. (shows me what mine looks like) Kieth has quite the setup over there. |
