Ein intressantes Projekt von

Just a couple of pictures of what I've been slaving over in my spare time with a bit of very valuable help from some of you F-chat people.
I started with a 1977 Euro (dry sump) 308GTB, drove it about 20 miles and ripped it apart.
Disassembled and checked over the whole engine, cleaned everything, and reassembled it with new bearings, seals, gaskets, belts, etc. Replaced one cracked cylinder head, did a valve job, powder coated the cam covers, belt covers and oil tank.
Sold the carburetors, coils, distributor, air filter, etc.
Machined new billet aluminum intake manifold/plenum that houses 4 Laminova air to water intercooler cartriges inside and an Opcon supercharger on top which will be making about 10 PSI.
Distributorless ignition and EFI are controlled by an Electromotive tec3 ECU.
Twin throttle bodies are 5.0 Mustang, as are the twin air filter elements which are housed in insulated, aluminum boxes, one on each side of the engine. Each air filter is fed from it's own special fiberglass duct connected to the OEM air intakes in the side of the body. The left air intake, which formerly fed the oil cooler, now feeds the rear throttle body.
The old (oil-to-air) oil cooler was replaced by a Setrab (oil-to-water) oil cooler which is mounted on the lower fire wall. The supercharger left no room for the old, inefficient, water pump so the car now has a Meziere electric water pump in the front, near the radiator, along with a smaller Meziere pump for the twin intercooler heat exchangers in the nose (formerly Ford AC evaporators).
The single serpentine belt that drives the supercharger also drives the GM radial AC compressor and a Ford high out-put alternator.
The aluminum radiator is a modified Griffon, Ford type, NASCAR unit
The exhaust headers are stock but JetHot coated. The rest of the exhaust system is custom fabricated stainless steel with a pair of magnaflow mufflers.
To make sure it still stops the car has
Porsche-996/Brembo calipers and 12" rotors on custom machined hats. Tandem Tilton brake master cylinders with cockpit adjustable cable control take care of bias (Thank you Paul).
Wheels are custom made 17" Kinesis modular (thank you Steve) with 5 spoke centers. Tires are Good Year Eagle F1s.
For suspension we have lightened and strengthened OEM control arms, ES urethane bushings, VariShock adjustable coil-overs and heavy duty sway bars.
As you can see its pretty crowded in the engine compartment. That's why some components like the fuel filter, intercooling expansion tank and coolant over-flow tank are mounted in the trunk. To reduce heat in the trunk the body is vented with a long row of holes hidden by the bumper and a fresh air duct runs into the trunk from a scoop under the car.
The car was also repainted (black) and the dash pad, which was split, was recovered. The rest of the interior is pretty decent but I do have a Momo racing seat, left over from another project, which I may install later.
I have other ideas but for now I just want to get this car on the road. I'm sure there will be some teething problems but I'm looking forward to driving it this spring and summer.
Thanks again for some very important help I received from F-chat people both actively and passively. I don't post here very often, busy working on the car, but there is a lot of valuable and inspiring reading on this board.
