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

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
