As I said earlier, my car had the Danbury built Shelby aluminum block when I built it.
On other points, at some point HP's are just wasted on the tires. I love the way my car, drives, and handles. The
oil leaks are down to valve covers now that the intake is sealed with the TA 31 stuff.
I have aluminum block, heads, intake, water pump and love it all (except for the polishing and cleaning). I also love the FE engines and get complements from the older guys on it. Much of the younger crowd doesn't even know what an FE is.
I bought the car thinking it had a better value since it was all aluminum. Some folks prefer it.
Aren't all FE engines getting a little harder to find?
