I agree. That can't be right. I'm no engine expert by any stretch, but the 460 has a larger bore, stroke, bore spacing, rod length and the deck height than the FE, so how the heck can the FE and 385 be the same width?

Again, I know the 460 required the frame be banged on a Kirkham, and that fact alone disqualifies the 460 in any decision that I would make to install the 460 into a Kirkham Cobra.
