[DeTomaso] Car featured on Burns Stainless Site

You're too modest, Mike. I felt really good about my SPF until I saw yours. You've set the bar high, my friend. I take consolation from the fact that you're a younger guy and can better handle all those horses. ;-)

The rolling chassis is a Superformance with a continuation GT40 serial  number. It is officially(and legally) registered as a '66 Ford GT40 and is  included in the Shelby Registry.    So no, it isn't a kit car but it isn't a Historic GT40.    The motor, headers, injection, cage, etc. are all built by myself or friends  helping me.    Burns provided the tubing and the merge collectors as well as  recommendations on tube size, step length, etc. for the best guess to start  with for my motor.  It is a step header with all of the tubes within 1/4" in  length to each other.  Is it the best header combination for the motor, no.  The primaries are too long but it sure looks good IMHO.
