Hi Ron,

Thanks for the info, I thought the 352 was the smallest FE.
I was under the impression that the FE was phased out late 60s and the 385 series (429, 460 etc) was used instead. IE Mustangs had 428CJs one year then 429s following year.

I always wondered about when do you define something 'Big Block' and something 'Small Block' regardless of Chevy Ford or whatever (Most American V8s are 'Big Blocks' compaired to the 'Starter Motor' sized cars we drive over here )

At the moment FE stands for 'F*****g Exasperated' for me since it seems to be taking an age to get all the bits required for the re-build and then get the machine shop to get the work done
