I'm having the same dilemma as avmaviator, FE or 351w. I know I want 427, and I'm pretty sure I want a big block, but cost could be a factor. So that begs the question... Hp and torque being what they are in each engine, how much different would it cost to setup an FFR with each type? I've seen a few crated 351s from Summit and Jegs in the order of 10-12k while I saw genesis has FEs around 12-14k... Is that really all were talking? A difference of a few thousand $'s? Or (yep, just joined the forum today so pardon the new guy ignorance) is there something else I'm missing in what it will cost? Carbs and other odds and ends couldn't be that much different cost wise right? How bout brakes? Heavier nose need 12.8s vs 11s for the FE? Since I've already resolved myself to put about 55k or so into the car and a year or more building it, is the cost really that much different for an fe? Seems the benefits out weigh the few extra bucks from what you guys are saying. You've almost convinced me in just under 10 minutes of reading that fe is the way to go.
Thanks for all the tips guys!
