Cryogenic treating the components ( GT-40 program), the "Candy" racer runs a oil cooler driven off the right output with a pulley ahead of the half shaft turning the pump.
The cars prepared for the 1966 Le Mans win were the American developed MK11’s which were fitted with the 427 cu ins FE motor and Ford built T44 transaxle. Holman / Moody are making the original GT-40 from the original parts NOS or re fabricated the transaxle, Kar Kraft T-44 style 4 speed with magnesium case castings, ratios are changeable. This is the correct and original transmission for these cars.
I wouldn't count too much on the t44 as being an alternative to most of us.
They wanted $995,000, for a "continuation" MarkIV, two years ago when I was at SAAC 39 at VIR.
How much is a transmission for it? Don't bother.
The only way you can get one is to buy the car and take it out. They wouldn't even talk to me about selling me parts.
Of course if your name is Shelby, Foyt, Andretti or Penske I'm sure something could be arranged?
The only discussion they would have about parts was that there were 7,000 pop rivets in a MarkII
"continuation" car.
