Finally buying an FE!!!
After months of research and reading this and other forums, I have finally decided to buy an FE engine. This will be the start of a project for my young sons and I which will culminate in a finished 427 Roadster. We have yet to buy the kit/chassis, so this is just our first step.
Here's my dilemma. I want this to be a project for us to rebuild the engine. Should I buy a complete engine out of say an old t-bird or just buy a block and start fresh? I think they will learn more from a teardown and rebuild than just a build, but I want to make sure we don't get into a big pile of junk in the process.
Any input would really be appreciated. We are going with a 390 and plan on dressing it up a bit to resemble the cobra engine.

P.S. If anyone thinks we are doing this backwards and should buy the kit first....please let me know! ty
