Kieth Craft called me yesterday and said my motor was ready. It dynoed out at 612 horsepower and I believe 605 on torque. When I ordered it , I asked him about an FE of similar nature, he said about 650 on horsepower. It would cost approximately 20,000.00 to build complete ready to drop in. My 427 windsor cost 14,000.00 for complete ready to put in. Both motors was quoted with aluminum blocks, heads, electric water pump, davinci carb and dynoed tuned. Keith had no prefrence over either of them, just told me to consider size in making a choice. The FE is quite a bit bigger in size dimensionally to the windsor. He also stated that durabilty was great on both motors, after looking at both motors complete, size was the deciding factor in my case, not to mention price difference. Also these motors were to be street user friendly, using 87 octane gas, hydraulic roller cams.
