What does a 1200hp twin turbo 427in SBF in a GT40 replica sound like?

I'd rather hear it on the banking at Daytona.  ;)

I wish I had a video of it -- but it was a customers real GT40 with a 302-ci sporting Gurney-Weslake heads and four dual-downdraft Webers -- it was intoxicating sounding and the best Ford I have ever heard.  It was goosebumps worthy. (ala BRM H-16 and NOVI)

2nd best was many years ago, a relative of mine put an early 60's four-cam 255-ci Indy engine into his GT40.  Amazing sounding going through North San Diego County on the road or at Riverside (anyone else remember this race track?).  If I could find one of these engines today, I'd buy it and put in something it was that memorable.

That's a pretty massive reservoir for the A/W IC...

Can you even release the clutch on that thing without breaking traction?

things to ponder...
did the camera guy worry about his stuff getting sucked into those intakes when he took that motor close up? for that matter hope they did a search of the shop surrounding it for small objects that could get sucked in there including small children!

... HOW big is that oil tub for the dry sump?!!!

That A/W intercooler is really nice.  Good design for that car.

Too bad they couldn't put a load on it and spool the snails up.

Just in case you're serious, turbos just free wheel (for the most part) at idle.
