This my be a little off my topic, but I'll talk about it anyway.
My engine builder 8 years ago went bankrupt, kept my money, partsand even my camcorder.
Had to sell my 428FE to pay medical bills, so I haven't had a motor since. It and my bad health kicked my ass and my spirit for life.
Anyway, building a FE is very expensive. As you all know, I could build a big block Chevy with 600 (+) HP for $10,000, an FE would cost $17,000.
I must, have a Ford motor, and the 385 is one I could live with.
Even the Ford 514 crate engine with over 625 HP and a warranty for $9,000 to $12,000 would be amazing, but......will it fit under the hood & scoop ?
I also have a new top end brand FE scatter shield, flywheel, clutch ect...
I can not, buy or build a cheap, mild, purring engine !
So, I don't know how I can get another engine, but I refuse to give up !
We don't have the money we used to, insurrance changed and sucks, we both have bad health, I'm a diabetic and had a blood infection called septic blood and almost died twice, big medical bills,......lol
Anyway......
