In comparison to other engine families, the FE really has the short straw.
If the blocks were cast by Dart, Edelbrock, World, etc., I would have more confidence in them, but foundries are seeing runs of 100 FE blocks at a time and the dedication/QC just isn't there.
All of the major FE block manufacturers switched foundries last year. That should tell you something.

Thanks. I did talk to prior to pulling my engine. You suggested a couple re builders closer to me (Arizona) since I already owned the engine. I want to take this moment to thank you.
I read many of your comments regarding the FE's here. My guy is aware of many of the hurdles with them too.
In your opinion, once it does get properly built, is it good and reliable?

FYI Shelby Engine Co (Denbeste motorsports) is casting and machining all their blocks. Full warranty... Joe the builder is the best in the business. They are building hundreds of FE motors for inventory... no affiliation... just impressed with the shop and joe
