The car is a 427 FE side oiler, 454 cid, built by Olthoff.
I have a full spec sheet on the car, which quite frankly I do not
understand a lot.
I will send it soon.
Anyway the car will go straight to my mechanic who has an extensive experience
in Cobras, Cobra Daytona Coupes ( he has worked on my Coupe) and Gt 40 s
Thanks for your advice.
Very much appreciated.

Default Ford GT 40 MKII is here
Well the car arrived, and I am in love!
Cannot stop going out looking at the car, learning how to drive it, listening to the sound, it is a fantastic car.
Never mind that it is a workout to get in and out, at first I was not removing
the steering wheel, so I realized that my flexibility is not the same as when I was 20 years old.
Never mind as I know feel 20 years old!

It sounds wonderful.

Some cars take years off your life, the GT40 takes years off your age!

I too am an old f@rt and have a bad knee, but I stopped taking the steering wheel off as it is a PITA every time. I just step in , stand on the seat and slide down.

Photos will be available tomorrow,

I abandoned removing the steering wheel too, it is a PITA, I agree,
Just trying to find the best way to get in and out in a simple and elegant way.
So far I can do it but it is not a nice sight!

Pretty sure Olthoff does not do any engine builds in house.
