What is the best FORD engine per dollar

[DR 385]

The Dr is IN,

This is an old post, but I feel it bears reexamination, as it is obviously been contaminated by some "FE"-TARDED members.

It is dangerous when those who suffer from "FE"-TARDATION feel they need to comment on this subject. It is as if they did not even read the title of the post?
Ok, I'm sorry, I need to be more sensitive, Not so abrupt, it is a serious disability that needs to be identified and properly treated.
So let's read it together, obviously the pressure in your tiny skulls has made it difficult to sound out the big words.

Ok slowly now..."What is the best FORD engine per dollar?"

I should have seen this coming, when ever a "FE"-TARD sees "best" and "FORD" they can help but blurt out FE!!!!

"FE"-TARDISM, much like Tourette syndrome, causes the afflicted to randomly exclaim offensive words and obviously false statements in socially and morally inappropriate settings.
Typically, you will hear things like "FE's are the best!!" or "FE's are the most efficient, least expensive, most reliable engines ever created!"

While I am confident that my previously suggested treatment for the more serious "FE-TITUS", will yield positive results for the group, I have devised less invasive than program.
I believe that if the oxygen level in the blood of the afflicted is reduced significantly (98-100% should be sufficient) for a period of 30-40 min, the symptoms should subside. This procedure can be applied manually by a second party or self applied by means of a rope and simple slip type knot.
Another advantage to this treatment type, is that it may be started IMMDIATELY, as rope does not require a waiting period...

As a group, we need be vigilant in our efforts to keep these diseases from spreading to those whose automotive immune systems aren't completely developed, and are susceptible to infection.

The Dr has spoken.....

Dude, do you even own a Cobra? If you do, you have not decided to grace us with the details.

Instead, you insult long time members and posters, dig up 5 month old threads just so you can get the last word in.

This is "clubcobra". The best engine for the dollar in "A COBRA" is an FE, sorry ..."doc". Great performance, no shame when you pop the hood, and great resale value if needed. You might notice that some of the best replicas with a flair to the originals almost always have FE's (or very nice 289 style small blocks).

If you want to race, get a small block for your cobra, great choice!

Gee, I'm never ashamed to open my hood with a 460 under it.

But the real truth is that the only people that are impressed with an FE under a Cobra's hood are other Cobra owners (or fans of old Ford engines, who are really few and far between).

That's not always true of course. During my short ownership so far, I've had several people ask me if it was a REAL 427 versus a Windsor-ized 427, and those people weren't really Cobra/Ford types.

I would counter that with the fact that if they can't tell the difference between a big block and a small block, when looking at it, you could tell them anything and they'd believe it. But OK, I'll admit there might be a small segment that appreciates the FE without really even knowing what it is.

Afterthought -- I wonder why nobody ever asks me "Is that a REAL 428?"
