The 385 series engine(429-460....) is larger than FE's. You might say they are todays big blocks and an FE is a medium block. How far the crank case comes down is relevant to how it is bolted to the frame. Your dollar to horsepower ratio is MUCH beter in a 385 series engine, but is not as authentic looking as an FE.
