The symbol for iron is "Fe", not "FE".
I believe Ford intended that the engine family actually be called "Fermium", as it's sorta got some of that "FoMoCo" rhythm to it, and it's also hot stuff, what with it's being discovered in the remains of a hydrogen bomb detonation. The thing that's so freaky about Ford's selection of this name for the meaning of their acronym is that there are presently no known industrial uses for the element fermium, but there are literally tons of industrial uses for FE engines. I suggest we all petition the International Commission on Periodic Charts to get rid of that worthless element fermium, and have the picture of a cool old big block Ford placed in the periodic chart just to the right of Einsteinium. I also bet an FE could smoke gadolinium if it ever tried. (check out the gadolinium typo at http://www.bayerus.com/msms/periodic/gadolinium/index.html - great yuks if you're a physicist!)
Yup, FE stands for "Fermium". You can take that one to the bank!
Ironically, if you click the search button on this page and do a search for "bozo", you can probably find a direct reference to Ford's only published document which ties FE to iron. You'll have to jump around a little, because it's a couple links deep inside the thread (i.e.: select "Click here to respond" for deeper access).
