Not sure how much racing you do now, but make sure you really, really, really want a FED. We had a buddy who did the same thing, spent several years fighting to just get it down the track, and never got a chance to actually enjoy it or racing before he passed away. There's a reason Garlitz moved the engine to the back, and a reason they are few and far between in any form of racing. Killer looks, but their time has passed.
