FFR registration

I am in the process of building a FFR. Currently we are building a 5.0 and need advice on emissions and registration of the completed build. I understand we will receive a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin stating the car is a 1966. Does this allow for emissions certification as a pre-emissions car even though the block is 87-93. Any experience out there in Texas or advice. Thanks

FFR provides a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin stating the car is a 1965, which is used to get the FFR titled as a 1965 vehicle.

My FFR is titled as a 65 Ford, VIN # FFR1358K, and licensed as a classic automobile. I have a modified new 302 that is 3 years old. No emission testing required during inspections (because of the 65 title), just breaks, lights, horn, signals, and wipers. (I have no wipers, but I do have a portable clamp-on electric wiper when asked.)

Jay, thanks and I will probably be needing alot of advice. My son and I are just starting the build. We have decided to do the whole thing, including the complete build up of the engine, rear end, etc. My son is a mechanical engineering student at UT and we are telling my wife that this is a part of his education. We are at the point where we are completing the accessories to the engine and everyone's advice is really appreciated. If you don't mind we would love to come and see your car sometime and I'm sure would have more questions than you would want to answer. Thanks
