Hi,
I am new to this forum and new to the world of mechanics. I intend to build a FFR Cobra replica for daily use, so I do not look for the most powerful combination. Based on what I red so far (forums, blogs, publications), I am pretty confident I can deal with most of the building process, however, the engine and transmission choice is my biggest question mark. So please, any advise is welcomed!
The goal is to have a smal block engine (289 or 302) with an automatic transmission - is this possible? What is the best combo and who is a reliable source for both engine and transmission?
I live in Savoy, IL (near Champaign) and if there are any members in the area, I will like to meet some and learn from their building experience.
Also, if somebody knows and can recommend a good mechanic in the area, I will appreciate the info.
Regards,
Dan
