I looked at lots of cars,I still contend a well built,non donor ffr is the best car out there ,it's the only car that does not use 30 yr old technology,and to my knowledge is the only car with a stress free body ,like an original,as nice as some of the higher priced cars are,like my shell,,they are antiquated,that said,,the next thing to consider is building that top notch ffr will cost you maybe what an spf will cost you ready to go,i suppose like these guys say,you have to decide what you want.
I do feel the ffr is looked down on here,maybe because of the perception the low price advertising gets .
I think the small block is a great match for an ffr,but then again I dont see why a big block dosent make as much sense as in any other car,maybe more,I think the ffr has lots of simularities to a real car,I just think most people underestimate the amount of work and money to get it there.
As far as a big block goes,you can build a wicked 390-428 for about the cost of a quality small block,and they weight about the same with alloy heads,so go for it,,by the way I am calling southern monday to check on the $4500 center oiler,,I must have misread that line.Tk
