Roush vs 427FE vs Keith Craft

Roush engine design is soiid, KC engine design is solid, the problem engine builders run into 85% of the time is component issue. They purchase lifters, camshafts, heads etc and machine and build the engine. The suppliers of aftermarket engine components is where 95% of the problem lies. The builder of the engine pays for it in the end as they should since that is who the buyer pays their money to. I only hope the engine builders hunt down the suppliers and make them pay.

I have had three Roush engines an 2 bare bone stock motors. The Roush engines have some $$$$$ parts in them, ran the sheet out of them. On the flip side ran the sheet out of the stock motors also. A polished Roush engine is a beautiful sight and everyone go's "wow" and the car shows with the Roush name.

As far as FE and stroked small block, the small block will rev much much quicker, probably require less maintenance and be a more durable engine assuming a Dart block. The big block is more authentic.

Just curious, why do you think a stroked small block will rev quicker and be less maintenance than an fe?

Much lighter rotating mass much like an aluminum flywheel vs a steel one. The crank and rods are significantly lighter.
