Default Greetings from a Ford traitor :)

Just took delivery on a GT40 replica that I am building. Not interested in duplicating an original, but instead building more of a hot rod. It's a long story, but at the end of the day, if you want power out of a small light package, you cannot beat LS motors. This is where the Ford guys start to have convulsions...

I'll be lurking and occasionally asking dumb questions. My biggest problem is space. But if we can get it all in there, it should be a helluva ride!
