Woodz -- what FRPP engine went in your coupe >?

spf 2489, the only factory issue was the fuel tank sending unit gasket leaked after I filled the tank up to the cap for winter. The car was 2 yrs old.
Got gas on the top of the tank and on the floor. There is an access panel in the trunk, so it was an easy fix.
Once again the Club Cobra gang came through with the diagnosis and the fix.

I build and maintain all forms of Bikes and Cars and wanted the easiest to maintain engine for a Touring car. I put in a hydraulic lifter 360HP 351W w/6 speed. Never had 1 issue and it still sounds and runs as sweet as when I first lit her up. Cruising at about 80-85 I get over 20mpg, aerodynamics don't hurt. It'll pull 6 gear down to about 2000-2500 rpm without bucking and accelerate away without downshifting, so it's got a nice flat torque band. I will probably move down from the 750 that's on it to something around 650cfm. The engine is no longer offered,but may still be available through some outlets. I'd recommend it to anyone that wanted a nice powerful engine that you weren't planning on tracking. Although I did run it at Run and Gun a few years ago, took 1st in the road event, so it's a pretty well balanced set up. I've installed a few Roush engines and while Roush has a good name and great follow up, I wouldn't have traded my lowly engine even up for either of the 402s I installed.
