Spent some time over the summer looking at FV and looking into getting a car. Had to pursue some other adventures for a bit but now with winter on the way things are slowing. I missed out on a Kenny Brown built FV with extra engine that got sold for $2200!!! Just saw the ad too late. I have a possible deal on not one but two FV both need a fair amount of work. The seller has some drivetrain parts but I will need motors and gauges. One is in better shape then the other so I would start there. It was stored away in a body shop for some time before being dug out. He is willing to build me a jig so I can store the cars stacked and save space and also get both onto a trailer at the same time.
What will motors cost me? These may be over me head but I think there are some local guys that would be willing to help me out with knowledge. I know of at least one shop locally near where I work that has worked on FV and Indy Lights cars. Another runs ARCA and couple of guys at an Indy team told me in the past they could maybe give me tips.
These would be sight unseen but for the price if I can get them here I am thinking it is worth a shot...
I am planning to start with solo SCCA races.
