    Yes, I agree with you on this one. The center section is going to be the weak link. I am considering extending the cage to the front of the car, but, in doing so, the cars become less practical for street use, which is a major consideration. I am thinking about the "A" pillar problem. I...

    Here is a sketch of the proposed "cage" We will tie the front of the cage to the torque box area and the rear to the rear suspension mounting points.

    We should be getting the coupes chassis, etc... back from the media blaster on Wed. Then the real fun can begin. :-)

    Actually, I am more impressed with the RRS rear end setup. The front suspension looks pretty good also. I am thinking about having them package up some components for me before they are painted. We will install them in the car (welded instead of bolted) and then paint the suspension mods at...

    We are still looking. I can find one easy enough by going to an Australian speed shop, but I am still hoping that Ford will come through and be able to deliver a brand new engine to my door. :-) Here is a link showing a photo of the short block...

    Ding, ding, ding, ding.... Give that boy a cigar. I have been looking for this power plant for weeks (if not months). I talked with the folks at Clifford and anyone else who would give me the time of day, but no one knew where to find a Ford straight six with an aluminum cross flow head...

    No I am not giving up on the Ferrari thing. I am just going to have to shelve the idea for a while. I still think it is a cool idea, but I am going to have to finish these two cars first. I think we are going to go with the 240 (I said 244 earlier, but I miss spoke). Actually, the engine...

    Well... We are going to use a lot of the ideas we were going to use for that project. While I thought that the Ford Ferrari project was a good idea, we just could not find 10 people to tag along for the ride. With this project, people can follow along and use any of the ideas we come up...

    We currently have a 5.0 with trickflow heads, intake, etc... Also a procharger with air to air intercooler. We estimate the HP at about 550. But.... Wayne is talking to Roush about one of their engines for the build. OBTW, Wayne has the SN65 at the Woodward Dream Cruise. We will be...

    Yes, my search for the elusive Ford straight six with 4 valve, DOHC, aluminum crossflow heads has taken me all over the world. The internet is a wonderful thing. :-)

    Thanks for the kind words. And, to answer your question, the bullets were more like cannon balls. :-) This next project is going to be even better. We are looking to duplicate the performance of the SN65 by modifying the early stang chassis. And, we are going to do it in a way that can be...

    Also, we are giving serious consideration to installing a Ford straight six in the fastback. How does this sound.... A Ford, 244 cubic inch, turbo-charged, intercooled, 24-valve double overhead cam six. It will produce 365 HP at 5250 rpm. AND, 410 foot pounds of tourque from 2000 rpm and...

    Well things are moving along. We have the coupe all dissasembled and ready for media blasting. We should have it back from Astro Blast (Franklin park, IL) by the end of next week. I hope to have the fastback at the media/sand blaster the week after. While that one is at the blaster, we...

    Hi J, Thanks for the kind words. Both Hot Rod and Mustangs & Fords gave us a great write up. Hope it doesn't go to our heads. :rlaugh: As far as the wheels go, we want them to be "functional". We want the wheels on the track car to actually draw air from under the car, through the...

    Hi THX, Hummm.... Interesting.... The comments we have been recieving at car shows is that the vent behind the front wheels is one of the best features of the car. We have altered the vent somewhat in an attempt to make it more functional. On the SN65, the vent was more cosmetic than...
