About two years ago I started thinking about a FFR Daytona Coupe/Coyote project. The project morphed to a FFR Cobra/Coyote, and then either a Kirkham or ERA with an FE. At first I was going to use a 390 but now the project is settled on an ERA with a Pond aluminum side-oiler with a solid roller and probably 650 HP+.

Would I have been happy with any of those projects? Absolutely. But I settled on the aluminum FE with solid rollers because I think it's cool and this project excites me more. No great rationale - I'm just doing it because I feel like it. Both the FE and Coyote are great options. The Coyote is closer to my daily driver and more reliable while the FE is closer to a 60's race car. See as many cars and engines as you can and figure out what excites you most.
