If you are going to buy prints Call Neil and Parks.Great guys ,two tons of knowledge and almost unlimited parts for FED's. Prints would be cheap buy in to the info you will get. Cooling can be pretty basic with exception being mounting with limited spacing. Quite a few here will probably be able to point you in right direction. Welcome aboard.

I have contacted at least 3 chassis builders about plans and El don't get any response, or I get a negative response trying to talk me out of a short week base car. I would like to here from some members who actually have, and drive a short wheel base care, and listen to their opinions. The car l want to build would be more of a nostalgia type FED. Thanks, Greg

if you have the basic knowledge and equipment build your own, the way you want.
call S&W race cars get the prints for there 200" FED chassis, you will not regret buying that set of prints.... it has cage measurements, axle measurements, etc. very detailed multiple sheets... then get the SFI book to determine tubing diameters and such so you can "tweek" the build as there are gray areas
if your into social media check out brian fox and king chassis. he builds cars that have that "look" https://www.instagram.com/king_chassis_/

When we first built the dragster 160" because we didn't want to run front suspension, it had a 406 flat pistons and vortec heads on gas used a rad lying flat between the lower rails with an electric fan and a water pump running at 30% underdrive and could flat track it running back to back runs which was good until we started to build more power. it was less work and more fun but had to go faster!

Neil and Parks is now offering people to come to their shop and build chassis. You weld so that might be a great deal. Call them, they are great guys and can help with anything.
