The ZF 5 speed gearbox, as used in the Katipo MJ70.
Barry bought this F5000 back- the 2nd time- just for this.
Sports Sedans regulations said you had to use a road car box, and this was from a Ford GT 40.
Yes, pic is upside down.
Barry had to do quite a lot mods to the front to get it to this stage- as in the motor is at front, drive shaft set up etc.
All his own work.
Pic is from Sept 1986.

Ivan Bevins took the ex Craig Pullmans XBGT Coupe out for its first run at Hampton Downs on the weekend.
Hasnt been on a track since mid 90s, and Ivan said it was an absolute dream to drive- another satisfied Ford owner.
Pumping out the same 730 hp, nothing has been altered since it ran last
Boyden has the later VK that Trevor built.
Correct, bailey Thats the NZvhss (where are the bones of that car??)
Here are 4 pics which I invite comment on.
Like whose split window Corvette was used for the stock car?
I can see Supertune on the 2nd pic of the speedway car.
I see Bruce Manons Escort and Jim Shorts Pooch parked on the grass at the entrance to the pits in the Monaro shot. Must have been an disagreement over a parking spot
Pooch looks a bit the worse for wear - but just look at the crowds!Originally Posted by TonyG
