Although the idea sounds great, I don't see it happening. What is a "stock" FFR for instance. No one builds a "stock" car. Only the roller chassis manufacturers.

And then you have the cost to consider. Again, using FFR, the initial cost is low for the "stock" donor concept. If a FFR guy is going to a 351, he is doing other things, it's not "stock". This makes the FFR comparable to the more expensive rollers.

This is not a real comparison. For that you would have to compare a $60,000 JBL to a $60,000 Levy Racing FFR to a $60,000 Shelby, etc. And do we count labor? We would have to to give the roller chassis manufacturers equal footing.

Let me know what cost range(s) you would like to compare. For instance a Levy Racing FFR could be built to any pre-determined price point.

You get what you pay for and this would be a great comparison in that respect. Have different cost groups. Then anyone can bring a car.
