Great progress so far your building a beautiful car it looks stunning love the colour, can you tell me were you got your rollover vents from been looking for ages for them and can't see them anywere many thanks chris

 

[Chris Kouba]

Phenominal Ron! Can't wait til you get it running. The headers look great and that motor looks fantastic in its new home. Keep up the good work and keep posting.

 

[Mark Worthington]

Ron, you've heard of the "pyramid of speed?" I suggest that guys who can weld their own headers are at the top of the "pyramid of fabrication." Nice job, man.

 

[Ron McCall]

I finally fired the GT40 ! It has taken nearly a year but it is finally running .
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me along the way.I would also
like to thank my wife for putting up with my addiction.

 

[Scott McDill]

Congratulations. What a fantastic way to start the new year!!
Please tell us more, Have you driven it yet? Even a little? Pictures?

 

[Rob]

A sound bite of that baby would be veeerrrrrry cool Ron....

 

[Ron Earp]

Ron, what throttle cable did you use and where is the source?

Added note: Pegasus makes them up with no trouble to whatever length you wish. I just did an order from them last week but forgot to spec a cable. If there is an off the shelf one that is simple I'd be happy to grab that, but the Pegasus ones are not overly expensive.

Ron

 

[Bill D]

Yes, please tell us.

 

[Ron McCall]

Ron and Bill. I haven't installed it yet but I got the cable from a V6 Pontiac Fiero. A very well respected Pantera vendor (one of the few who is out to help people instead of just making a buck) turned me on to it a few years ago for my Pantera. The length is perfect,it is amazingly smooth ,they snap ritght into a GM style bracket and you can get them very cheap!
I installed one on my Pantera years ago and it made an amazing difference.

From what I understand,the 4 cyl cable is something like 11" longer than the V6 cable(which is somewhere around 89" total length)

Lokar makes them in custom lengths, You might be able to give them a call and have them do it or ship out the ends and a length of the cables to suit your needs.

From their site at Lokar Performance Products

Throttle Cables
How long are your throttle cables?
Lokar manufactures and stocks throttle cables in 24" and 36" lengths. Special lengths are available upon request in 12" increments. All throttle cables are u-cut-to-fit.

P.S. Where is the picture of the burnout Ron

 

[Simon]

Another nice cable is one from a Toyota MR2. good quality and smooth as silk. Mine is long enough and comes to the back of the manifold.

 

[Bill D]

And also Pegasus Racing will custom make any length throttle cable with various end fittings.

 

[Sandy]

The Ends are really the issue, not a problem getting suitable cable, likely could use bicycle brake stuff that can be had at a bike shop it is smooth, not sure of the temp capacity. I defintly would check your cable bracket end and see what it will need. CSI and Lokar both make some nice carb side throttle stuff. I like the CSI as it is very adjustable and looks nice, and doesn't sit on single manifold bolt like some.
