Snake. Congratulations on ordering the ERA. I ordered an ERA FIA in January, and got my chasis number 2118, and apparently my body is in the mold at this time. As far as vintage 289's, ERA has a local motor builder (Joe Lapine of Danbury Competition) that Peter can recommend. He has built motors for Peter personally, and for quite a few ERA customers, and he is in Connecticut. Do a search for ERA 2111 and you will see a photo of what I believe is a 1965 vintage 289 block that was built as a 331 stroker for a gent (Warren) who I believe is taking delivery of his turnkey car this weekend. There are others who can probably do it as well. Keith Craft Racing specializes in Ford motors and should be able to build just what you want. He has a great reputation, and Kirkham has been buying some of his 331 stroker motors with great reviews. Good luck and have fun!
