Coupe-R delivered 8/10/2024
289 USRRC, F5R1011063RD - delivered same day
Coupe-R has a Ford Performance 363 mated to a TKX, 18084.
Many details on my Coupe-R are different from a typical Coupe build because mine is not street legal, race only.
289 has a BP 302 mated to a TKX 18084.

I don't know if they are included or even optional from FFR but Mark at Breeze has a set.

I'm building a new 289 now for Mark Burger. They are optional from FFR. We called expecting them but they said they're an option.

I'm not trying to any sales away from Mark at Breeze, but he will tell you exactly what I am telling you now, the the FFR ducts are much nicer than the ones you'll get from Breeze. The ducts at Breeze are about $80 if I recall but the ducts from FFR are over $300 (If memory serves) AND they are on back order. Since I wouldn't need them right away, I ordered from FFR.

Gone but not forgotten. Mk1, Frame #1929 Complete restoration/upgrade.
That is a bummer. I noticed the same thing.

Hi Mike - Mine don't seem to fit where they belong. Did you trim the ones you used to fit the body and look right? Can you share any photos?
