Not to hijack the thread, but VERY few 550 replicas are pan built. The pan built cars are rear engined making the body look strikingly different than the mid-engined cars. The overwhelming majority are tube frame chassis. Beck, Thunder Ranch, Vintage all make tube frame cars. Only Perry makes a pan based car.

The engines vary from T1, T4, subaru, subaru turbo, a couple of audi engines, at least one flat-4 alfa, a northstar v8 and a couple of 911 engines from 2.4 to our car's 3.0 (soon to be 3.1). Transaxles vary accordingly. The great thing about replicas is that no one cares if you modify it and stuff a 3.0 911 engine into it. Its a replica. Build it and then drive the tires off.
