Ford GT 40


Engine: Ford 427cu. in. medium riser with aluminum heads and intake, original new Ford cast iron block, built at the Holman Shop by Tommy Turner or Jimmy Tucker, both builders of race engines for the original GT-40 Ford race teams as well as hundreds of 427 NASCAR engines.
Cooling system:Aluminum radiator, stainless steel and aluminum water pipes, aluminum water tank, twin cooling fans (not on original Mark II's)
Oil System:Ford style magnesium cast oil pan with pumps mounted in the aluminum front cover, aluminum oil cooler, aluminum Mark II B style rear oil tank, Aeroquip lines and fittings. The Mark II A front mounted oil tank is not recommended, but can be mounted.
Transmission:Kar Kraft T-44 style 4 speed with magnesium case castings, ratios are changeable. This is the correct and original transmission for these cars.
Body:Mark II A or B style bodies are available with the parts made using original team molds and/or parts. Original air craft body latches are used. The glass work is fitted to the chassis better than Holman Moody did in 1966 and 1967.
Construction:Pressed steel monocoque made to the original Mark I GT-40 drawings. Modified to Mark II specifications at the Holman Shop by Jimmy Tucker and Jim Rose. Both men have extensive knowledge of the car and its history having built some of the original Mark II's and both were crew chiefs for Ford at LeMans.
