Do a search here on the forums. There is a couple SOHC's being installed in a Kirkham Cobra as we speak. A couple high end builds BUT worthy and accepting of the rarity of this engine. That said, IMHO putting a SOHC into a FFR is like putting a BBC into a Ferrari. It just doesn't make sense for too many reasons. Most SOHC motors are close to what the average price of a used FFR is completed WITH a nice set up. The ERA's, Kirkham's, Shelby cars of the world are justifiable for this engine. Anyway you look at it you will have MORE money in the complete package and resale might be tough! But if that's what you want... With the amount of mods needed to make this motor fit it would only make sense to do it right the first time. It's a neat piece but it' exclusiveness also makes it exclusive into what it fits and belongs in. Just my two cents Matt
