Say it isn't so
I would like a really strong FE for my replica. One that I would expect to, based on flow numbers, make the power Craft claims. This would be the best of both worlds for me: a big FE that runs as good on the track as a decent small block AND social acceptance in the Cobra community. 
But, my hopes have been dashed by some of you. Those in the know seem to be insisting that an FE can’t make any power and that it can’t run with a mediocre small block. Oh well, I guess social acceptance will have to wait. 
Seriously, I never look at a peak numbers for race engines. I would be more interested in the shape of the torque curve and the average power over a given rpm range than in peak numbers. Drivable torque is more important than peak HP… to me anyway.
An engine builder wouldn’t have to read this board very long though to realize why guys want an FE.
