Now this should be fun to watch... engine management is going to be a trick as FRT has not got a control pak made for this yet. I'd like to see the 6 cylinder version come available so that I could slip that into our 67 project.

Word! I'm looking forward to seeing what the little motor can do in a light weight Fox with a good suspension underneath of it. We're talking a great road course car if done right.
