no finish date...cold weather + warm shop= lots done
My plan was 3800 supercharged V6 since I have one mated to the Porsche G86/20 but Kennedy only makes adapters for SBC and SBF for that transaxle so I am back to square one. Now I am researching V8 conversion with a T type, only have seen 3 or 4 online. Any tips/pics greatly appreciated!!
Fiberglass belly pan coming off today...maybe I will see the rad/fan for the first time.
There is a gentleman in Australia that can create an adapter plate for whatever you need. He frequents the GT40s.com site, but for the life of me, I can't remember his name. May be Chris (Flat Chat). If not, I bet he would know who it is.

Things look nice and clean under there with the exception to the silicon sealer on the frame and the dot 3 paint damage from the master cylinder ...oh well, not too bad to fix that.
Attachment 959Attachment 960a look at Manta upholstery.
The frame on these t types are massive and overbuilt. 4 x 2 with lots of 2 x 2. no flex there and more than ready to handle a lot more motor.
Removed the cooling system, Rad was a triple core 18" x 13.5" and an electric fan between the rad and AC condenser. Working on removing all of the old brake lines and cooling lines as all have deteriorated over time.
3800 L67 drops right in
GM L67 3800 Supercharged fits pretty good in mine, but I am building a Mitsu 2.0L w/500+ Hp to replace this old GM iron.
