Hi Guys,
I'm a newbe to posting on here but have been spectating for a while, but looking for some info about FE and Holley parts ID (I'm UK based so FEs aren't so easy to find over here)
I am building up a Mk.II GT40 replica with an engine being built by Huddart Engine of Crewe. I'd like to know what valve covers the original car carried (I think they were called a "Baldy" cover or something like that) - what else were these fitted to? Also Is the transparent velocity stack a period Holley unit or something special made for the Mk.IIs only?
I see the valve covers don't have a breather. As my engine is also dry-sumped is this likely to be OK or is there another breather system somewhere else I can't see in the photo?
This is my engine spec. by the way
