A lot of guys really like the Ford 460's. That's fine. They can run great. For me, I would rather have an FE in a Cobra replica. But that's just me.

I think there must be an error there. My iron headed 385 crate engines with iron water pump and aluminum intake have a shipping weight of ~670 pounds including the crate.
