What is the best FORD engine per dollar

[AL427SBF]

Silverback's comparison falls way short of a parallel argument, determining hair color without selection criteria is not the same as what the OP asks which does have selection criteria ...

If you were going to buy, or have one built, what type of FORD engine combo would produce the highest HP/TQ per dollar, all else being equal.

RICK's response still stands and is irrefutable ...
#1 is a stroker windsor in the 393-427 range in Aluminum

Easy. A stroked 429/460. You can use a factory 460 bottom end, slap a set of Kaase P-51 heads on it, throw in a solid roller cam, and push 700hp. Adding cubes only adds to the fun.

What is the price difference between a good FE390 or 428 build and a 385 series build and power comparisons?

Silverback did hit it square on the head.There are those of us that need the Wow factor when you open the hood and have a hard time seeing the ground because of the big block wedged between the frame rails.They do make 385 aluminum blocks also,no need for one in my car the weight bias is just the way it should.

I agree, there are those of you like patrickt who buy these things to impress the neighbors, doctor pics with photoshop and spend more time looking at them than driving them. Too bad it ain't real eh? Remember, all you have is a KIT CAR, but if forging Leonardo da Vinci signature on that Mona Lisa PRINT you have makes ya feel better then go for it

If I wanted to impress the neighbors, then I'd have to actually take my car out of the garage and drive it.

AL's calling us "waxers." If I weren't a Buddhist, then I'd be very insulted.

I have all the love in the world for ya AL.

For me, logic dictated that 427 Cobra's came with FE's.

SBF's should be installed in small block Mustangs, Fairlanes, Galaxies, Falcons, etc.

385's should made into avant garde coffee tables. I'm kidding of course.
