Guys, in THIS situation, only this one, did a FFR and a Kirkham come close in price. The reason is due to all the parts that would be needed to handle this engine. There is a little bit of cost there. Then all the plumbing, there's a bit of cost there. The wheels, there's some cost there. A bunch of small things added up. Then lastly, I'd need more tools to build a FFR than to finish a Kirkham. I looked at every possible aspect of the build, and in the end, the difference between a cammer FFR and a cammer Kirkham would be roughly $10K. In the end, they are almost the same cost but one is better than the other. There have been FFRs that cost the owner close to $100K, and they built it themselves. It's possible for a FFR to cost almost the same as a Kirkham in the end. Not common, but can be done.
