Remember that there is a line of guys in front of you if you're going with ERA. For a turnkey, the wait time might be a year, maybe more, I don't know. You'll have to call Peter and find out. As for styles and engines, I'm a big FE fan, which means the 427 style car. The FIAs are certainly nice though. Yes, the FE sounds different -- especially with a solid lifter cam. Yes, they cost more. But look at this way, if you go with a FE powered 427 style you'll have plenty of time to get your engine put together, and the builder does not have to be local to you. Just use someone that knows FEs -- you can get some recommendations from the members here.
