You might try using a frame with window screen rather than plexiglass.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I gave that some consideration ……. the problem is finding a Frame that matches the body contour ….. I could make one from 3/4 plywood , but a " window screen ", I want this to be waterproof and sturdy enough to handle highway ( + ) speeds …… Mike

Yep, you are correct, with the lighter weight, even a stock 225 hp roller engine from a fox body will be great. I only mentioned a 331 over a 347 due to some of the 347 kits using oil in the early days. I am sure they have gotten better, but I have been out of the game for a while.Yes even the lower HP is quite potent.... mine ( from a 93 Mustang ) has the OEM Fuel Inj. If I was to go with a 331 the better option would be a 347 ……. The newest version that FFR is promoting is the all alum. " coyote " eng. w/ all alumin. trans … 400+ HP from a stock 5 lit. WOW …. that combo saves about 150-175 lbs …… very nice in a 2000lb car ……. I also have ( still in the box ) a " new style " F.A.S.T. " fuel inj. system that looks like a carb set-up...… this company was the first to have this ….. now Holley, Fitech, Edelbrock, Edelbrock. even Summit racing makes them ……. Mike
And yes, the new 302 coyote engines are quite potent. I just got back into those last week. I plan on this one being a keeper (just like my lightning). Mods seem to be more expensive. In order to add a cold air kit and exhaust, you are needing a tune, and that puts you at the $2k mark. I am going to just wait a couple of years and then go with a blower and get that 700+ rwhp mark.
