It would be an interesting challenge to see just how inexpensively someone could build a FFR or some other make - fully documented. I've seen people mention here and there how little they spend but never saw the details. I have found more deals on Craigslist than I can count for just about anything. There are Craigslist search tools out there which allow you to quickly search various Craigslist areas and display the results automatically. A friend blew up his 302 in his Panoz and picked up a complete 5.0 motor for $500. Things like that can make for an extremely economical cobra build. When you save that kind of money it can make the lack of HP seem just fine.
