Do any FE's stay together?
Yeah, I think we just hear about the ones that break, you never hear about the ones that last a long time.
Back in the late 60's, I had 4 FE's in 3 different vehicles, two stock and two moderately modified. I ran them really, really hard, and all I ever broke was the teeth on the nylon timing gear on one of them, it jumped time. Replaced it with steel gear and new chain, no more problems.
A friend of mine had a FE that was strip only, in a 4,000 lb Galaxie. He ran it several seasons, all he ever did was fresh bearings occasionally, that was it. It would pull the front wheels, I don't remember the times, but I was in awe.
