lol yeah I did realize that after I posted it, all I could think of off the top of my head was the GT40 was shorter, so I took a shot in the dark [8D]

 

oh blow me, thats like saying a talon tsi is a totaly diff car than the gsx....

 

indeed a OHV 380BHP 16V V8 bored and strokedwith suspension tweaks up the *** is the EXACT same thing as a DOHC 5.4 V8 with 550BHP

 

ummm, you are way off base here man...the gt40 was built in the late sixties to compete with Ferrari in the 24 hour races. Compete it did, by winning 3 in a row. I think Ford got out of the racing scene after trounching Ferrari. Some privateers continued to use the platform for a few more years, most notably the gurney cars that had a 427 in it. Take my info at face value because it's been awhile...do some research on your own. The GT40 is one of the baddest machines to grace a race track.
http://www.tornadosportscars.com/TS40/GT40history.html <---learn a little something about Ford and the GT40 you may not have known.

The GT is a retro design, but using a completely different platform than was used in the 60's (it was of English design back in the day). It is bigger in every dimension than it's 60's predocessor.

 

The 427's in the later models had an 16V OHC engine....with over 600hp.

 

yeah I think they made a 351 and a 302 along with those two if I remember correctly.

but who am I, I'm just a noob to this site so I guess tidus is right... I'll take a knee and say they are the same thing

 

Valve jobs help but you need someone to blend the throat to the valves so everything flows smooth. And match your cam with your gearing, header size and needs. For myself, I know more about parts I like for small block Chevys. But engines for the most part work on the same premise, more gas and air in, the more explosion, the faster the rpm, with correct gearing the faster you go. I was hoping some of the board experts would chime in.

Personally, what I would like to do next after the Prostreet is done is a Ratrod, or take a body like a '97 GS-T and gut it and build a full frame with a 4 link or another ladder bar system or independent rear suspension and put a small block in it with a minimum of 383ci and minimum of 450hp. I like the build of the cars, making the not so common possible.

 

wow Tidus you are a retard. I dont like fords dont get me wrong but the 03 Cobras are a force out there. and the Horrible GT mustangs that you hate are much better built than your cars. the Cobras are nuts and the GT500 is an awsome platform\design for the ford shelby cars.

Dont get me wrong Zo6 is a car I wish I could own. the Viper to me is a waiste that is more of a POS IMO they are pigs.

on the GT-40 and ford GT they are not even close to the same car other than similar look. motor displacment power suspension THE NAME are all different they were made how many years apart from eachother. the GSX and Talon are the exact same thing inside and out other than minor cosmetics the motor is the same the interior is the same the drive train suspension ect ect ect. you make your self sound like a clueless ignorant *****, your better than that man come on that is al Ive been seeing from you as of late

 

+1 LS7 = KEENG ****! lol
