We are now offering a true MK II replica, compatible with the original FE engine and the T44 transaxle!  Like the original MK II, the ERA GT MK I chassiss is modified for the larger engine.  Initial bodies are done as the original, with rather crude bodywork designed for racing only - which is not to say they can't be made to look straight enough for street.  With our  new tooling, the body's construction is similar to the ERA MK I.  Here's a layout of one of the first cars.

The engine was the same as used in the 427 Cobra:  A NASCAR engine (note the single 4 bbl carb) putting out about 485 bhp.  Very conservative - to live for 24 hours at Le Mans.  The engine used a sophisticate dry sump system to minimize height and maximize oil capacity for the 24 hour race.  

A large (~3 gallon) reservoir was kept at the front, on top of the footbox.  Lots of plumbing involved.

Because of time constraints, the guts of the ubiquitous Top-Loader found its way into a new Ford-designed case with quick change gears at the far end of the case for fast ratio changes.  There were only 4 speeds, but with all that torque, nobody complained.  First gear was good for almost 100 mph!
