FE ONLY OR 514ci. CRATE IN YOUR,....COBRA ?

[FUNFER2]

Hey Bryan, how about a 8-71 huffer.

If the measurments are correct (except 2" longer) why would a 460 be tighter than a FE, just different in shape ?

$24,500,......wow.

Those dimension charts don't tell what intake they are based on - I'm assuming a cast iron 4bbl OEM intake but not sure. My suspicion is once you get into performance intakes the 385 will grow taller than a FE.

I believe it's a Edelbrock RPM, but I'll check.

If I was ready, this is a great engine.

$13,000 (Offer less of course)

12.5:1 compression, but may be ok using aluminum heads and E-85 fuel on the street, but stretching it ?

489 CI 427 side oiler

Motor is complete and currently in my 66 Fairlane so you can hear it and drive it. The details are as follows:

Genesis block 4.280 bore
JE domed pistons 12.5 - 1
Scat 4.250 cast crank and H-beam rods
Edelbrock 60089 427 heads, SS valves mild gasket match & porting by Roush Performance
Comp Cams custom Hydraulic Roller & lifters .622 lift, duration 252I & 262E @ .050 112 LS
Nice choppy idle.
T&D street rockers

Short block built by Keith Craft

Less than 1000 easy street miles

Can be had with a couple different intake & carb combos. Currently has a Blue Thunder MR with BJ & BK carbs all new from Carls Ford Parts. I would rather keep the MR but could be talked into selling it as is. Also available with a Dove Tunnel Wedge or Edelbrock Victor w/Dominator carb flange etc.

Long Block $13000.00. Adder for intake and carb combo can be discussed.
Call to discuss other possibilities.

Well, after a lot of researching, speaking with many FE guys, owners, engine builders and most importantly my wife,.....we've desided on sticking with an FE.

We'll spend a lot more money for what I want, but l'm positive we'll enjoy it more than a 460, except for the cost.

Need to save, save, save for an FE.

Interesting decision. If you are putting this engine in a CSX chassis (original or continuation) there is no doubt that an FE would be the only logical choice - (in a BB car of course). I have had both an original side-oiler and a 460 stroker...if performance and an impressive BB appearance is your end-goal, go with the bigger motor. I know I am late to this discurssion but I'd suggest you reconsider your choice...

After months and months of posts and threads, and soul-searching, and mental torment by FUNFER2 on FE vs 385 - please don't get him started again. An FE is good - go with it. Lets move on to the transmission.
