What is the best FORD engine per dollar

[DR 385]

67FEfastback,
As I have stated earlier, I agree with the position on ORGINAL cars and the use of period correct power-trains.
We are talking about REPRODUCTIONS not originals is any way! These cars are meant to provide the experience of a Cobra at a lower cost.

Excalibur,

Ahh! here again "FE"-TARDISM rears it's full of itself, swollen, ugly head.

"I won't give a second look at non FE's, because they are, well you know... not FEs...."
"I am not capable of figuring out how to actually calculate or harness the power my ancient lump of iron makes, so to suggest the building of a engine that can easily and cheaply eclipse my inflated numbers causes me to make irrational statements defending my obviously flawed position."

When I run your numberS thru several different drag calculators, they just don’t add up. ASSuming you car is approx 2800 lbs with you and fuel,
I would say your actual crank number were safely under 500 with your rwhp near 390-400 to arrive at a 121mph trap speed.

I would ask Mr. Schroeder if 700hp would be a "waste of time". I would believe that he has the experience and skill to put this level of power to good use.

Dr 385 at your service
