Me I like the all aluminum FE engine that weights about the same as a cast iron block aluminum headed small block. The cars sure handle nice with that extra 150lbs of the front and mine make pretty good HP and can be rebuilt many times over. They are the best bang for the buck when it comes to an FE engine right now, who every thought we would have the new parts to build an all aluminum FE engine over 527C.I. if we wanted.
Now we can build an all aluminum 427SOHC engne that is better and stronger than the original. Why would someone pay 30,000.00 for an original SOHC engine they know nothing about when they can do a complete new aluminum 482C.I. to 527C.I. version for in the 38,000.00 range that makes about 200HP more. Got to have that 40 year old technology so that they make less power I guess. To each there own, that is why build each engine custom for each customer.
Happy Motoring, Keith
