In 2006 the owner of the project I was working on bought 3 GT40 cars and 2 GT500 cars and had them delivered to the shop. Those GT40 cars were beautiful and I remember the whole underside of the GT40 cars were completely covered by sheets of aluminum. The GT40 cars were blue with white stripes, white with blue stripes and black with silver stripes. The GT500 cars were blue with white stripes and white with blue stripes, both GT500 cars were signed by Carol Shelby on the dash. The GT500 cars were cool especially the white with blue stripes one as it came with the top tier race package, however I was all about those GT40 cars..
Not a big deal but pretty sure it was a lysholm twin screw blower not eaton which only uses roots type which im pretty sure had not released their tvs rotors yet so it would be the older 60 degree 3 lobe rotors like the early gt500s with their m122 blowers.
The real secret to a high performance engine (as GM has discovered finally) is to abandon the push rod actuation of the valve train, either a Desmodromic, or chain driven DOHC layout with 4 valves per cylinder (to enable an ideal breathing cycle) gives the best results. This layout also removes the need to keep increasing the engine's capacity (and weight) by giving the ability for much higher revs. The DOHC chain driven system, precludes valve float, allowing for a smaller capacity engine to rev much higher. As demonstrated in GM's Corvette. This is hardly a secret really, it is simply that the USA has long taken a different direction, owing to the extraordinary low prices for fuel. The forced induction path is also an excellent approach, but again, with a smaller capacity engine, a higher revving unit can still deliver high torque and HP outputs.

Camillo was my friend at the time he was doing the GT (I"ve kinda lost track of him lately). He and Sid Chiang were working on Petunia with Chelsea Lau as studio Chief (or maybe she was just a manager at the time). Both Sid and Camillo did some very aggressive and modern design proposals. J Mays didn't want to go new with it. J wanted to go retro. It's a shame that the world will never see what Sid and Camilo actually wanted to do. One earlier iteration of the retro version of the GT design had a much shorter front overhang and smaller more compact proportions overall. It still housed all the mechanicals that eventually ended up in the production car but the smaller car would have been faster and lighter. J didn't like it because it looked less impressive so they added the extra length. J sent a lot of good design work back into the clay oven.
You have to ask the manufacturer to custom build them per your specs. I know Continental and Goodyear are pretty good at that. They won't be cheap though!!

WOW, what a car, it's like it's made for the 1960s, prior to all energy crises. NOW it would be nice to see a modern electric Ford GT with 3000kW. Leaving this "oldie" in the dust.
I`m not much of a ford lover, but ya gotta admit, this is one of the finest cars in the world. Only thing i have to say is, its NOT a stock block. If it were, you would see these blocks in factory everyday assembly line cars. This block is heavily modified special for this car, and this car only.
Ford's biggest mistake was installing an overrated, disappointing "Ecoboost" V6 in the 2017-2020 models. They do not compare to the great Ford GT of 2004-06. That robust, intensely engineered supercharged V8 was the best thing that happened to Ford. And that is why the Ford GT from 2004-06 remains the greatest production car ever made by Ford.
@@cesarpalmos8235 it’s not overrated it’s a great engine. Won Ford GTLM class in LeMans lapping the corvettes. Just would’ve been nice to hear V8 roar when you floor it in a Ford GT.
@@CoyoteFTW I think it is one of the greatest small displacement engines there is. It is great to hear a v8 roar, but the Ford GT is a perfectly engineered in my opinion. Just like the 05 models, I believe the new GT has a lot of potential. A 700hp version of the new GT, which is only 40 hp more than stock, can actually beat a McLaren Sienna on the track.
FORD GT brought back some credence of Leadership in High Performance Sportcar manufacturing back to FORD! Thank You So Much FORD GT & to 337 Speed for the Feel Good Presentation! Now FORD have to crawl back to be the Leader in the Electric Vehicle transition for the Next Generation to buy & to remember! 🌷🌿
They WAY overbuilt the engine and drivetrain because they didnt want to cut any corners or save a whole lot of money purely in order to make a deadline from what I understood in the past. Really nice to see.
I definitely enjoy your videos my man. Finite element analysis is something I never knew about this. Thank you for your insight and brilliant clarity to the engineering of this machine.
The Ford Modular is the most underappreciated engine around. And im not saying that just because I'm a Ford guy. They were underpowered in the Mustang because of the small displacement and rpm requirements from being an OHC. Ford had their own aftermarket parts to make it more powerful. The aftermarket can make the 4.6 get close to Coyote hp easily N/A. And they sound great. But where they shine is in boost because it eats the boost like no other engine does. The power bands are smooth and stream line giving you the low torque and high ram power that makes the engine a rocket engine.
3000hp on the STOCK BLOCK is absolutely mind blowing stuff. This generation of ford GT is one of the great road cars in history

shit man i wish that was the case on the old 4.6L 2v, such a headache trying to make power, the internals are only good for maybe 8 lbs of boost and thats pushing your luck.
all of that for maybe 500 hp
The GT really is a masterpiece and i celebrate Ford and the engineers who made it happen. It also looks cool as hell.
The gt90 is literally fords Bugatti
Veyron?
@@tmo2798 or Chiron it's like the same engine
@@jordangarza8877 That's right. Maybe he is justified in just pointing out the company. But no, they made literally, tons, of other cars. So yeah, he should've mentioned either one of those models we brought up. Good point.
@@jordangarza8877 On second thought, the GT90 never even went into production. So it'd be more like Chrysler's 'Firepower'. Just a little more hardcore.
@@tmo2798 I like the sound of Fords Bugatti more
Man these animations and narration just earned you a subscriber

I'm a loyal Chevy guy but two Ford vehicle's I absolutely love 1969 mustang fastback and the Ford GT two of my all-time favorites.
Back when EA made bare bones racing games with the Need for Speed series they came out with Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. It had an updated list of cars and tracks but also with unlockable cars via cheat codes. One such car was the Ford GT-90 mentioned in the game and was the ultimate racecar.
These cars are still increasing in value!! You see them n you are immediately drawn to them, pleasing to the eyes and a wonderful treat for your ears 👂 !! Great content!! My 2010 GT500 has its heart ❤️ !! Thanks great content
@Ricardo Corbie - Yes, they are increasing in value, as long as they are not modified to make a zillion hp!
WOW, what a car, it's like it's made for the 1960s, prior to all energy crises. NOW it would be nice to see a modern electric Ford GT with 3000kW. Leaving this "oldie" in the dust.
That's right, Ford always did it first! Find new roads Chevy, cause we don't want you on ours.
the sound it makes just gives me goosebumps, beautiful
One of my most favorite cars of all time. Thank you for making a video on it!💪🏽
Dude. Your voice is badass, you should try voice acting
As a fellow Gearhead, no matter what vehicle brand you prefer, you have to like, if not love, this channel!
that’s just ford power ain’t no Chevy or a hemi doing that😂
I`m not much of a ford lover, but ya gotta admit, this is one of the finest cars in the world. Only thing i have to say is, its NOT a stock block. If it were, you would see these blocks in factory everyday assembly line cars. This block is heavily modified special for this car, and this car only.
Love the subtle battlefield 5 last tiger music in the background
Chiron SS: 😦
The AERO on the car looked frigging STOCK TOO....DAM
Ford's biggest mistake was installing an overrated, disappointing "Ecoboost" V6 in the 2017-2020 models. They do not compare to the great Ford GT of 2004-06. That robust, intensely engineered supercharged V8 was the best thing that happened to Ford. And that is why the Ford GT from 2004-06 remains the greatest production car ever made by Ford.
why is the EcoBoost overrated?
@@cesarpalmos8235 it’s not overrated it’s a great engine. Won Ford GTLM class in LeMans lapping the corvettes. Just would’ve been nice to hear V8 roar when you floor it in a Ford GT.
@@CoyoteFTW I think it is one of the greatest small displacement engines there is. It is great to hear a v8 roar, but the Ford GT is a perfectly engineered in my opinion. Just like the 05 models, I believe the new GT has a lot of potential. A 700hp version of the new GT, which is only 40 hp more than stock, can actually beat a McLaren Sienna on the track.
They ran the EcoBoost Ford GT at 800horsepower around Daytona.
@@jamesturner2126 I knew they had the 700 hp variant in the MKII, but didn't know they pushed even more power. 800hp is incredible from 3.5 liters.
God what a sound coming out of that thing at 4:34
Man your narrration has gotten so much better since the start of this series keep up the good work and shelling out these bangers
FORD GT brought back some credence of Leadership in High Performance Sportcar manufacturing back to FORD! Thank You So Much FORD GT & to 337 Speed for the Feel Good Presentation! Now FORD have to crawl back to be the Leader in the Electric Vehicle transition for the Next Generation to buy & to remember! 🌷🌿
I love this channel. Can you break down why the SRT-4 neons were so fast…? That’s my favorite budget car by far
Great to see this well documented video. Thank you.
They WAY overbuilt the engine and drivetrain because they didnt want to cut any corners or save a whole lot of money purely in order to make a deadline from what I understood in the past. Really nice to see.
The GT 90 was like 15 years ahead of it's time. I see similar design language with pagoni and Lamborghini reventon
That guy drove right past my house last year in the car. Even at idle and very light throttle it sounded out of this world
I love the content that you put on your channel! You give great insight and breakdowns. Keep up the great content!
I definitely enjoy your videos my man. Finite element analysis is something I never knew about this. Thank you for your insight and brilliant clarity to the engineering of this machine.
dude i won't stop, 337 T-shirt DO IT. you never disappoint.
Ford while making the gt: do we think people are going to leave it stock?... nah hey Greg make it able to hold 3000hp on stock block
Let me tell you, Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp had 2400hp
Some of these GT blocks are cracking out around 3000hp
Camilo Pardo is genius
The Ford Modular is the most underappreciated engine around. And im not saying that just because I'm a Ford guy. They were underpowered in the Mustang because of the small displacement and rpm requirements from being an OHC. Ford had their own aftermarket parts to make it more powerful. The aftermarket can make the 4.6 get close to Coyote hp easily N/A. And they sound great. But where they shine is in boost because it eats the boost like no other engine does. The power bands are smooth and stream line giving you the low torque and high ram power that makes the engine a rocket engine.
Right now, the Badd GT has achieved 310.8 mph(for us non-americans thats a whopping 500.38kmh) WITH ONLY A MILE and running 2700hp to the wheels
Fun Fact: the v12 Ford developed from the GT90 became the legendary Aston Martin, 6.0 V12 in the beautiful DB 9
The V6 will never be this badass. I don’t care what the fan boys say. The 05-06 GT is leagues ahead of the V6 one…
Smooth video. Love your editing style- informative and evocative. Subbed. ❤️
Iconic car and also my favorite of all time. I dream of owning one
You should do the Ford 427 SOHC, used in the GT-40 MK II/MK IV.
Only engine technically banned from both Nascar and Le Mans.
Why?
Whoever put his voice in this has the same voice of the guy that explained the cars in Need For Speed II
Factory block good for 3000hp 🤯
I cannot fucking believe that stock block handled 3000 hp and over 50 fucking pounds of boost
Its not so stock , it was predicted for racing and manufactured like that
T6 is just the temper and not the alloy. Aluminum is typically called out by alloy then temper Ex: 6061-T6 or 5052-H32
Could you do a video on the ford cyclone v6? It’s a super underrated engine on par with a gtr with the right upgrades
A guy in Texas who own's a Heritage Edition one goes up to salt flats sometimes and races it
Gt90 looks sick
Even version from 50 years ago is almost perfect.
Car was created by law of physic, that why it looks great even today.
I got to see a original MK1 at a rich guy’s collection. Awesome car
Just in case, the 05-06 gt won the le mans as well, so he technically proved that he is worthy of his name
I think I heard of a New record of a GT going 311 mph
Dodge needs to bring the Viper back or have an actual competitor that handles well.
Ford needs to make a large displacement 4 valve thats absolutely destroys.
