There is a lot of variation in seating amongst all the replicas. I'm 6'-2" and built my ERA without seat tracks and somewhat reduced seat foam and I'm pretty much looking through the upper half of the windshield, well below the top frame. I could actually stand to go up just a bit.

On engine type - some replica manufacture's gravitate towards certain engines. ERAs are usually built with FE motors. FFR are usually built with small blocks. Unique, SPF, Hurricane, etc are commonly built both ways. An FFR can accommodate a BB as well. There are few that build a big block and yearn for a SB unless they want to build a 289 replica. But it's an individual issue that you have to decide for yourself. Sometimes a cleaned up and rebuilt junkyard 390 is a good compromise.

Nice 36 Chevy you have. Good luck.
