Re:
Fordracer,
I just finished my ERA, and took it out yesterday with a group of Cobras and Vipers... First hand, I can tell you that Tom at FE Specialties builds what you want, and it will turn out as requested, within budget. I did not cut corners, but I did not have to spend a ton of money on a 427 buildup either. I am a systems engineer and developer professionally, so I can really appreciate good engineering and return on investment.
I have to tell you, after driving this car with the 428CJ that he engineered for me per my requirements, well let me say this, for the first time in my life I don't believe I need anything more. I've had big-block Cobras and fast cars in my past to compare to. I'm just breaking it in now, and its pretty exciting so far... I have not even taken it above 3800 rpms yet, and I had no idea that an FE could have so much torque - effortlessly!
If you are not sure what to do, give Tom a call, he has helped me and couple of friends already on their FEs. Good Luck.
