385 series engine! 6 to 700+ hp/tq for a lot less than a FE. Thats even with making the required changes  to your drivetrain/roadster. Ok, I haven't done the #'s comparison. But a new FE is 15 to 20K+ US. To fit in a new 385 series motor. Say a 532 cid; you can build for around 10K US in parts!  Interested? Check out "popularhotrodding.com". Click on Technical Articles, type in "Building a Big-Block Ford Using Shelf Parts-Ah Rats!". By Stephen Kim; from the 6-7-09 issue. You might find it interesting. This is offered as just another option to explore. If for no other reason; to help you adjust to the nightmare you have/are goning thru! Best of luck M8!
