In this thrilling episode of EmeliaHartford, the team embarks on a mission to revive the long-forgotten GT40 after two decades of neglect. The car's woes began with a faulty transmission straight from the Factory, forcing them to shelve the project temporarily. But now, armed with determination and a new transmission, they dive headfirst into the challenge of bringing this iconic car back to life. With a powerful 351 Windsor based 427 engine and 180° headers, the GT40 promises an exhilarating driving experience once it hits the road.
Amidst the excitement of installing ITBs and the new transmission, the team encounters obstacles while trying to remove the old transmission.

The new ITB setup proves to be a significant improvement over the previous one, promising a cleaner and more efficient performance for the GT40. As they work on fuel lines, wiring, and mounting headers, the anticipation for the final result builds, hinting at an impressive outcome.
Unboxing the new transmission marks a pivotal moment in the GT40's restoration journey. With rebuilt components and Billet parts to address past issues, the team is optimistic about the car's future performance. Despite some hiccups during the gear oil filling process, EmeliaHartford and her crew maintain their trademark humor and enthusiasm throughout the installation. As the project nears completion, the GT40's engine roars to life, signaling a triumphant return for this once-forgotten automotive gem.
