Want to build an FED in Australia

(1/3) > >>

LSTRITS:
Hey guys,

Im Matt and a drag racer in Darwin, NT Australia.

Im currently looking at building a small FED for a Holden 202 (straight 6 3.3L) after seeing how fast an FED can go. Only issue is I am trying to find where I can buy plans to build the car along with a list of whats required so I can begin planning money for the build. The engine and gearbox are done so thats one thing out the way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated with a "whats needed" as I want to build it myself.

Cheers Matt

Building FEd all you need to know is Neil and Parks. They have plans($125) and about everything you need parts wise.Add in super great guys to deal with and always willing to give advice or help. https://neilparks.com/ I would have bought plans and probably saved 3 times that is screwed up materials. Their roll cage parts alone would have saved me enough to cover cost of plans.

Frank spent most of hour on phone giving me advice and at that point I had spent zero with them.

Matt - if you have a really good digital camera, when you're around dragsters and see something you like, or really don't like, take many photos from all angles.  Then when determining each part for your build, you can reference these photos to assist your designing your chassis and own parts to fit and work together.  You're fortunate Rooman is here (also a sponsor of this site) because he no doubt knows the Holden 202 and any issues with chassis fitment and solutions for your unusual engine/drive train selection.  Alan

These guys make a really nice kit too:

Or if you just want the plans and get the material locally:

Good luck on your endeavors.

Thanks guys for the comments so far. Being in Australia and especially in Darwin we have very few FED's unless they are the big boys and there is only 1 or 2 that come out to play. I will defiantly be looking into the plans/businesses you have provided. Thank you!
