Hi Tom,
Thanks for you input.....

How does the 351 fit in the FIA...meaning....do you still have room to get at the plugs to change them. In general....can you get at everything to work on the engine?

Did the ERA have any mechanical issues with installing the 351 in the FIA?

How's the hood clearance in relation to the carb.......tight? What's your carb setup?

Sounds like you went with a create engine.....where and what did you buy.....mild or wild.....how's it working out? What HP and cam type are you using? Are you happy with it?

Why the Tremmec T-5 and not the T-6?

Rear end ratio?

Did you go with leather seats...? 289 stile or 427 stile?

Rag top? How's that working out.....do they leak ...much?

Standard FIA tire setup?

How much are you driving the FIA.....?

Are U happy with your setup? What would you change?

I gotta call Peter this week and talk about several options.....you input would help.............

My day phone is 617-475-7262. tx mike
