What do they mean by 'obsolete'?

By blinker - 06/09/2004 10:38:21 AM; IP 64.12.116.81

New hot rod magazine has a nice article on a FE buildup, with genesis block, etc, no ford parts. Anyway, they say the FE was obsolete 40 yrs ago. Was it any more obsolete that the bb wedge mopars, pontiacs, etc? Even when the bb chevy's came out, while it may have had a engineering edge in terms of port design /valve placement, it wasn't so advantagous to render all the other BB's obsolete.

This thread, so far...

Strictly speaking, 'obsolete' means 'not in current production'. [n/m] -- Mr F, 06/10/2004
