Im in NC, north of Greensboro.... Engine systems out side of Atlanta built the Fe I have.. its a 390 block with the 445 stroker kit... Hydraulic roller, BT heads and intake. Very mild cam. Its making 450.
Do you have a budget yet.. I think in a earlier post you said a 428 cost to much... I didn't think there was much difference in the dollars for parts . Then you started talking about Aluminum blocks... Iron blocks builds are FE... Freeking expensive. Good luck with it all.We need more FEs.

[quote=RodKnock;1396730]They're rocket ships, no doubt about it. They were cool at first, especially the Roadster (Tesla's 1st car), but now they're ubiquitous. It's like a Prius around here. They're an appliance.[/QUOTE
They are everywhere here also. Some of the Tesla folks can be a bit annoying IMO. Plus, everything on those cars except the driveline falls apart. For $120-14k that's certainly not where I'd spend my $. But they are quick

Yep, I was at a car show just last week and a 427 style car pulled in. When the fella lifted the hood there was a SBF in there. Two younger children saw it and began to cry. I had suspected as much because the "rumble" just wasn't there. When one of the kids asked the owner why he didn't have a big block under the hood he mumbled some sort of apology and "the small block engine is just as good." He left shortly thereafter.:( Yes, we need more FEs in these cars. |

Kids - really? Most of them probably think a V6 Camry is a big block. %/ |

You know, there are three or four builds, that are ongoing, and that we haven't had an update on in months. This is one of them.%/

Ok, ok. Give me a couple of days and I will start one. I am going out of town, and will get on it when I get back. I have been sitting in the garage drooling for the past few hours. |
Looking forward to it. The snow is flying and I need something to keep me going.

Back to the topic... as for me living in NC... its amazing to me that with all the Nascar crap around here that there are not any that I can find FE builders... Im talking builders that are into FE..
I hope to be on the road this spring and I'm going to ride up to Leonard Woods house and get him to take a picture under my hood like he is tinkering with my carb. He doesn't live to far from me.

I have a few hooks in the water; but i like to see more than a few finished products. Anyone can get lucky once.
Peter recommended a guy in CT, who is obviously solid. If all else fails i will end up going with him.

Got an update for us? Who is the guy in CT. I am in western nc, looking for a builder. I'm looking at having Vintage motorsports in CT assemble a BDR for me, so an engine builder in CT might help with logistics. |
