Some really excellent posts here guys! Thank you all for the enlightenment and the entertainment. My BB FE curiosity has been peaked even more.
Same question part II.
So looking around some more and asking more questions has me seriously considering an ERA 427SC. If it is going to be an ERA replica, I might as well go with a 427FE BB.
I am now looking into Pond, Shelby or Genesis blocks and a build based on these "modern" BB FEs. So the question is, am
I heading in the right direction???
The claims on the aluminum block strength on RPM website are impressive to say the least! 1300HP use, stronger than the original block, side oiler but modified to
oil the main bearings first, etc... Looks of the "real deal" but with modern redesign and improvements.
