    To Everyone Working On Or Completed a Ferrari GTO Rebody

    in Body Kits & Paint

    Posted

    Has any one tried to assemble the Ferrari replica people on this site into a sub-group to exchange body and replica information? If nobody knows of a posting on this site that links the Ferrari and exotic rebody projects together would the members on this site doing this type of project please list themselves. It would be really helpful to discuss things and share ideas on this subject.

    Trying to see photos, etc. on postings

    What does it mean when the photos on postings have the white background w/black frame and red X in them. The photo won't come up. Also, I'm getting a lot of "not authorized" or other messages when I go to sites or photos on postings. Has something expired? Someone please clue me in.

    Thanks in advance!

    Do you have a sawzall?

    Try looking at a few of your local pawn shops. Due to the rough economy the past couple of years many sawzalls have been pawned. I went into two pawn shops and saw literally piles of sawzalls. The good brands (Milwakee, Makita, etc.) were selling from $35-$45. I picked up a Makita for $35 and have had great results with it.

    Installing sub-frame connectors/two different methods

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Posted

    I've about got my 280 stripped to the shell and am getting ready cut out the rusty floors and install sub-frame connectors. I,m not sure if I should install them w/the car sitting level on jackstands or if I can get away w/doing it while on the rotisserie. I'm afraid of sagging if I do it on the spinner but it will be a heck of a lot easier to weld this way. Pete P./Marc Wagner please feel free to chime in.

    P.S. The transmission tunnel and rockers are solid but the floor is gone.

    Thanks

    Sweet block hugger manifolds by Sanderson

    Sweet it is! I just made a post on 12/8 looking for high-flow cast iron manifolds. I,m building a Velo Rossa kit and want to keep as mush noise and heat under that fiberglass bonnett as possible. I almost became a coated header convert but these things are just what I was looking for! I've got aluminum heads, intake, etc. so I don't mind some extra weight.

    Thanks for the post!!!

    Cast iron exhaust manifolds

    The headers I see used the most seem to be Hooker brand block hugger headers. Any info as to which brands fit the best and have the best ceramic coating would be helpful.

    Since these headers run so close to the oil pan would an oil cooler be recomended?

    Heat is my greatest concern. I've heard so much about melting wires,etc. that I have kind of backed away from the idea of headers. Do the ceramic coated type really put off less heat than cast iron manifolds? If so then my choice has been made (they sure look better than stock manifolds!).

    Anyone else with knowledge of ceramic coated headers please chime in-I can use all the help I can get.

    Thanks,

    I have a set of aluminum heads off a 96' Vette. I haven't settled on a short block yet-was waiting to see what type of exhaust (manifolds) I wound up choosing. I have been told that the two previous mentioned exhaust manifolds would work w/these heads.

    I only want about 250-300HP out of my smallblock 350 and am more concerned about keeping noise and heat in the engine compartment down to a minimum. Therefore I was planning on using cast iron exhaust manifolds. The JTR manual says the "rams horn" type or the "log" type used on 1980 & newer Camaro,Caprice &Monte Carlo are the ones that work. Has anybody found other manifolds that will fit w/the JTR conversion? The later Vette manifolds look like they flow well-has anyone tried them?

    Thanks for any advise I can get!

    Looking for site showing duals exiting through center rear

    in Miscellaneous Tech

    Posted

    I have viewed a site in which the car owner cut out the hatch floor of his car (spare tire well etc.) then made a place to mount the battery on the left (drivers side) and a Suzuki? gas tank on the right (passenger side).

    This enabled him to run dual exhaust between the two and exit through a cutout in the center of the rear valence panel.

    I have looked and looked but can't find it again. Does anyone know how I can find this posting/website?

    Thanks!

    JSHOUSE engine combo results (you guys might find interest)

    Hey Grumpyvette,

    You obviously know you stuff re: SBC engines. I have a quick question to ask.... I'm working on a Ferrari GTO replica on a 280 donor. I have a 350 w/aluminum heads off a 96 (I think) Vette. Anyway, these heads have the center bolt setup for the rocker covers and I want to find an unusual (exotic) looking rocker cover to give the engine a Ferrari "look". Please let me know if you have any sources.

    Thanks,

    J.P. Roberts
