[QUOTE="railroad, post: 16268355, member: 13485"] There is nothing difficult about the assembly. You will learn some new stuff, if you are not use to using pop rivets and riv nuts. I bought a pneumatic rivet tool. To get to a rolling stage, it is just nuts and bolts. The wiring intimidated me and I am very familiar with wiring. It was just the mass of wires, in the end everything worked and no issues. Instructions are pretty good, better yet are the websites. Fellow builders know all the tricks and solutions to issues. Yes, I dropped about 20K on the engine, pan, bell housing, clutch, and trans. I got a TKO 600, all new parts. I shopped on the engine and saved about 2K on the common price for it. The base Coyote crate engine, with no power adders, makes 435 hp. The cost is less than half of the engine I got. The finished car is 2500 lbs max, so power to weight is over the top easily. There are builders that have supercharged and twin turbo'd the base engine in the roadsters. The newer editions of the roadster MK IV are not as receptive to the old Fox body and Mustang parts. Push rod engines are the low cost easy builds. They make cheap power and easy to wire. Factory Five has header systems for most Ford V8s and will set the mounting up, if you order. My advise, is go on the website and watch for unfinished kits for sale. These are great buys. You can find everything from, still boxed up to almost complete. [/QUOTE]
