I've been dreaming about building/owning one of these since I saw one while in college in 1991. It took me 20 years but It's now a reality. Thanks FFR and the guys on this forum for helping me along the way.
FFR #7018 is a complete MK3.1. The engine is a bored out 5.0 EFI with Edelbrock performer heads and a Cobra SVO intake.

I installed a heater and seat heaters and an iPod stereo in the cockpit along with many other options.

Thanks

I don't know if you guys remeber me asking how to get 6an fitting on the hardlines provided by FFR. I wanted braided fuel lines with nice finish. Plus my lines are close to the headers and this makes me feel better. I gave up on that.
However they sell
3 ft (lots of lengths) braided fuel...
I have a dailey driver Cobra that spends time in in stop and go traffic. I've replaced the clutch cable with a Ford oem clutch cable. That helped reduce the clutch pedal effort. I don't do drag race starts or even autocross stuff. The motor is a 331 stroker with 165 AFR heads, cam and...
