Factory 5's are not factory-builds. They're built by the buyer. Some are top notch, others not so much. There is a separate website for the Factory 5 forum.

FFCars.com : Factory Five Racing Discussion Forum

Backdrafts are delivered from the factory in South Africa to the US as a turnkey minus (no engine/trans, but a roller). The engine and trans can be installed by the buyer or by a shop of the buyer's choice. A great many that I've seen here on this forum are finished (engine/trans installed) by Jay at Vintage Motorsports with engines built by Keith Craft, Ford Motorsport or Roush. And there many others, including Brent at B2 Motorpsorts.
