And Hawkrod gets the Gold Star

Yep, probably so. Although I am interested in Dove Manufacturing, I thought I'd throw the FE thing in to see the reponse. Personally I'm a lot more interested in the technical aspects of the FE than the history. They can fight in here about history, but yet they all get supportive on a tech question. So, overall it's a great forum. Personally I think that after the Ford Engineers (FE428 could mean "F"ord "E"ngineer's 428) threw out scores of Big Block ideas, they eventually decided on the "F"inal "E"ngine, or FE. This could be true, as back in the 50's, thoughts of the 429/460 series were as far away as sending a man to the moon. At least that's what "F"red "E"lliott, Ford's Chief Engine Design Engineer from the 50's wrote on the back of the 427 BluePrint available on E-Bay, or so the seller says. Also, as many of you know, all design projects involving non-recurring engineering are budgeted through a "F"inancial "E"ncumberance. By the way, has anybody checked out Dove's prices? I know it's "new" stuff, but $4K for a cylinder block?
This thread, so far...
