Not Ranked
hot fingrs Jack Hot Rodding would not let the FE motors in that challenge. It was in the rules. I think it is like anything else, the rules are bent a way. Hot rod didnot want TP, SOHC, or HR FE motors because the numbers would come pretty close to SVO 460, the Hemi, BBchevy, 455 Stage 1, and Ram air 4-5 motors. There was a limit on the engine build I thought. Chevy brought back the ZL1 motor, Ford pushes the SVO 514 motor, and Dodge has 2 Hemi's. I would buy a FE motor over a 460 for the wieght alone in a Cobra. Shelby block will go to 550 cid. If Ford builds an Alum460 block maybe that will change. You would have thought that with all the replica car cobra companys they would have come up with the FE motor as a crate engine. They are living off the 427 heritage with the new car. I am glad that Shelby and Genisis are maken blocks. Maybe next year Hot Rodding will let the FE's in the game. It would be fun to watch. Rick Lake
