FE Maximum Cubic Inch? and my FE life story...
By Jim - 11/30/2001 5:22:00 AM; IP 209.86.216.148
Is 428 +30-60-90 the max CID?Since the stock block FE is thin wall technology is 428 about it? Is it possible to get in the 500's or 600's like hemis and BBC's? If so, is the 427 block a must? From the "FE vs 385" thread it seems that the 427 block is the best way to go. True? Since the stock block FE is thin wall technology is 428 about it? BTW, thank you all for this priceless info. I have been an ignorant diehard FE fan for 25 years ever since I got my first of four '67 mustang GT's and GTA's. A FE fan for life.... Today, all with C6's... A 73 CJ5 (AMC/Jeep) with a 390 conversion, 3 late 60/early 70's F250 FE's, a sweet little 428 CJ (I think, im not sure after coming to this site 2 days ago but Im going to find out soon thanks to you guys) waiting to be reassembled and put in something, and the 390 GT engine out of my first Mustang that I rebuilt at 17 y.o. all by myself is running mid 12's in a cut up to fit 3000 pound '75 Ford/Mazda Courier weekly at my local drag strip. Im looking at a '62 390 T'bird this weekend to be my daily driver. If it was up to me (not smog laws in CA) I would even put one in my smokey/leaky/tired '86 V6 T-top LX Stang. THE WAY I SEE IT, YOU CAN PUT AN FE IN ANYTHING! My FE life story. What FE's do you guys and gals have? Are you all 427 side oiler/428CJ people?
