Build plan ?’s

[Redstang69]

As I’m trying to plan my build I find myself struggling to figure out answers to a few questions I have, here goes:
As general info, I’m planning to do a base kit build, use a donor 5.0, T5, and 8.8 solid axle. After reading and watching videos I plan to buy new items for some of the remaining donor items ie. LCAs, rear control arms, fuel tank, vintage gages from FFR, new brake and clutch reservoirs and MCs, calipers, rotors and pads.

1. I plan to buy a new steering rack, is there advantage as to which rack to go with 87-93 or 94-04? Is the steering wheel and column (upper shaft) used from the donor?
2. I’d like to go with the RT complete wiring kit, is this covered with the upgrade 14613?
3. Does the base kit come with any hood hinges? If not do you use the donor car hinges?
4. Will the FFR base kit come with all new brake and fuel lines?
5. What pedal box route? Seems like I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews on the wilwood box as well as the donor car. I’ll probably go will a hydraulic clutch given what I’ve read about how “heavy” the mechanical cable ones are.

I think that’ll do for now. Sorry if this stuff has been answered before.

I see responses to this forum area from Factory Five tech occasionally. But I wouldn't count on it. (Watch me be wrong this time...) I think you'd be better off sending your questions to their information email address.

Having said that, lots of knowledge on this forum. You'd get plenty of responses and helpful info using a regular post with your questions in the Roadster forum.
