I thought you meant the whole block was out of Ford GT. Sorry.

No worries, I should've been more specific.

Looks great Matias.

That powerplant is badass!!!!
This type of stuff makes me easily forget about the cammers of yesteryear.
Old sh!t is just that old sh!t. I'd like to build a thunderbolt clone with this type of tech going into it, turbo it and the rest will become newer history.

looking good.. i don't know if it was posted already but, paint that steering box. it is a shame to have a rusty old part next to that motor.
