My first cobra was a FFR. One thing to consider in your build. If you intend to be mainly a cruiser in your car, then an fe is going to be just fine. However, if your desire is to race, run autocross or build the ultimate slot car, then you might reconsider the weight factor of an fe. A fast revving revving 341-7 in the FFR chassis is a hoot to drive in the twisties and, since the FFR is already about 250 pounds lighter than an SPF, it will handle like a go cart.

Ultimately, it's your baby. Do it the way you want it the first time. I didn't.
