SB to FE conversion?

[decooney]

There are a number of nice SPFs running around with budget built FE/390s in them. Truth is, if you can find a nice clean block and crank..., they look-sound-run and perform great on a car with street tires. Sort of a no-brainer combination if you ask me. Save the extra money and invest in some decent aluminum cylinder heads and a nice brand new carb, intake, distributor and MSD ignition setup and you'll be set for a long time of enjoyment. Good Luck.

ou812545......re your bellhousing question . no mods on mine but i have seen some cut off/trimmed flat at the bottom for a little extra air space between it and the road .

your comments re high dollar engines - yep, lots have big bucks into them - you just need to decide on your usage and need and then decide if the big bucks are worth it for you, or is there a more basic similar hp/trq crate motor for a fraction of the price that will fit YOUR needs . to each their own - just remeber, the cheapest time to get the most hp is the first time ! new or used ! as once ya get accustomed to the car then most usually want MORE HP > bill
