How would it look through the rear clamshell glass with those velocity stacks in "orange" on a Gulf GT? Mmmmm...

The ultima looks like a kit car from the 70s called a manta. Any relation? It is also the exotic car that was stolen in the original Gone in 60 seconds.

Putting our motor in any car would be ok. The thought of putting an LS into our car that is sacriledge.

...and someone posted ("back when") here on The 'Forum that the GT mill's components are designed to "live" when producing up to 1,000 h.p.

Andy in Lufkin used to have a low-miles salvage GT engine/transaxle - think he was asking $28K.
the reason most folk put in Chevies is that you simply cannot buy horsepower that cheap anywhere else - e.g. my other fun car has a chevy with 501hp, cost $4995 for the finished crate motor and all I had to fit was a carb and starter motor - 10 bucks per horsepower is unbeatable. For comparison, the Supra guys in Houston typically spend $50-60K on engines to run the Texas Mile at 200mph, but they aren't putting out 5000hp!

Yea i know, i meant that the Gt500 only shares those couple items with the Ford gt other wise everything else with it is different. The gt motor/drivetrain is a bad a$$ piece!!!!!

The race box will have straight cut gears & dog ring (no syncro) engagement.
And each of the 6 forward ratios can be changed independently of each other.
Allowing the user to fine tune as required for real high end racing.
The project is still quite young. With a large amount of development yet to happen.
