Aviaid’s John Schwarz reports that an enjoyable recent project has been development of a wet sump for a ‘Superperformance’ Ford GT40 recreation, a car so authentic it is accepted by the GT40 registry and has FIA papers for historic racing. Its 470 bhp V8 is built by Steve Warrior, whose UK company Aviaid supplies. Interestingly back in the day - well before Schwarz acquired it in 1998 - Aviaid made the original GT40’s six quart wet sump pan. “This latest one has an extended sump, making for a nine quart pan,” Schwarz reports.
