Tough Ford Racing Parts.

Engines:

In the early days most FFR Coupes were built with stock 302 engines and T-bird IRS rear suspensions.  Engine bay and deck height limit engine selection to Ford small blocks (289, 302, 351, 392 etc).  It’s important when taking on this project to decide on an engine and transmission configuration that will deliver the power you need and is within your budget.  The kit comes ready to accept only the Ford Small block 289, 302 or 351 engines. 

Transmissions

The Coupe kit is ready to accept a wide number of Ford and many aftermarket transmissions.  While there is plenty of room in the transmission tunnel for older set-ups, we still prefer sticking with the newer running gear for affordability and durability. The stock Mustang transmission is either a T-5, T-45 or 3650.  We have run T-5’s in our race cars for years with excellent results.  Most racers choose the Tremec TKO transmission and dual plate clutch.

Rear Ends and Gearing

The base kit requires you to use a rear end from either a 1987-1993 Ford Mustang, or source your T-bird rear-end for the optional IRS.  The complete kit delivers your Coupe with the entire FFR three-link suspension. 

Headers and Exhaust Parts

The kit exhaust parts are assembled and ready to bolt on, with all fasteners and gaskets.  The base kit comes with 302 or 351 headers, gaskets, fasteners and a pair of dual side exhaust units.  The side exhaust matches the look of original vintage cars.
