Ordered a 289 kit

[Jphoenix]

I bought a Coupe-R, my wife wanted a Cobra, so we ordered a 289 kit with the plan to add a LeMans hardtop and a rear or under/side exhaust. Just going to find an old 289 and drop it in. Trans not decided yet. 3 link rear end.

Welcome to the 289 Family!

Thanks Steve!

What is the expected delivery date?

[David Hodgkins]

Congratulations! If FFR had a 289 option when I built mine that’s what I would have built.

Have a ton of fun with the build!

I have a Coupe-R and a 289 USRRC, both with completion dates 7/20.

We seem to be in our own little world ... you'll love it!

Saw this car at the Pacific Northwest Historic races last weekend.

FIA pin drive wheels arrived today from Trigo wheels, they are really nice!

FFR kindly revised my order at the last minute to a narrow-width 3 link axle, great folks to work with. Curtis at Trigo also excellent, knew exactly what I needed and shipped within a couple of days.

I'm in Junction City, Oregon and started a FFR 289 USRRC-style in August and am looking at how to do a rear exhaust.
Not at the point yet where I can evaluate the twists and turns, but I'll be giving it a high priority.
Reason for rear exh. is that I've owned five '65 GT350s in the distant past and that experience with side exhaust was enough.
Good Luck!

Yes, I’m looking at assembling my rear exhaust using parts from spintec, I’ve seen some others using their kits and mufflers.
