Formula Ford

I am on the verge of buying a forumula ford to use for autocross. The one I have currently focused on is an 85 Reynard.

FF have a 1.6 kent engine. That was the standard engine in the old Pinto. Hopped up a bit with a two barrell carb they put out about 104 hp and in autocross gearing supposedly will go zero to 60 in about five seconds (prolly with someone lighter than me).

It is a pretty nifty little race car which looks a lot like an Indy car with small wheels and no wings. Every thing you would ever want to is adjustable.

I am pumped.
