sorry, but that is just a pipe dream.....

i understand your position and desire but the difference lies in the fact that ford eliminated all the tooling for the FE years ago. that is the reason that ford DOES compete with chrysler and chevy head to head with the 385 series crate engines. they still had the tooling. it may seem to you a simple task to gear up for this type of thing but i assure you that for a large company to do something of this nature it will cost millions and would never return a profit. the way business works i can guarantee the only way FE blocks can be made and keep the cost reasonable is to have small time companies do it. the risk is that development times will kill more companies before the product gets to market. as genesis gets closer and closer to regular production the better off we all are. now that they have shown their blocks to be solid and have filled the vast majority of the outstanding orders i expect we will see shelved inventory within the next 12 months. hawkrod
