We all have issues that we deal with. It's part of life and it's what strengthens us as we grow older.

I had a good friend that passed away this week. Ten years ago, he was having replacement hip surgery. The doctor placed a clamp and it nicked an artery. His arteries were in such shape that they ended up cutting him from neck to bottom to try and fix the initial hole that was caused.

They couldn't fix the hip, even *after they had cut his ball joint off*. He had to live for the next 10 years with a pad in his hip.

This week he had surgery to repair some heart issues. He suffered a heart attack on the table but they were able to keep him going. His kidneys then failed. He made it for a couple of days then passed away.

When I was born, I was born without passages to connect my nostrils to the rest of my air passages. The doctor pulled me out when I was born and when they put the syringe in my nose to suck the junk out, it bottomed out. I couldn't take a bottle for a complete year because when I would suck, I would create a vaccum and then couldn't breathe while I was drinking. I had to have surgery on my first birthday, where they stood me up on my head, cut the soft palate out of my mouth, drill the holes where they should have been, and then sew it all back up.

Believe me, I'm sorry that you have had so many health problems, but we all have problems to some extent.

In a world where some people would kill to have a complete meal and fill their stomachs, we are truly blessed by God to have *toys* like we do. I really can't feel sorry for someone who's down on themselves because they can't swing a $12k engine right now when a 12 year old kid across the world weighs 35 lbs. First world problems........

Listen dude, if I ruffled your feathers, I apologize.

However, the questions you have been asking, can only be answered by yourself. We can't decide whether or not an FE is more appropriate or a stroked 460. That's for you to decide, and 11 threads later, we still haven't provided any more information for you to make a decision. I would take some time to sit down by yourself and figure it out. You have 3 key points that you need to figure out: cost, horsepower, and originality.
