Easy there Tom,
I did not call you a 385 hater. To be clear, I chastised Pat & Rod as haters
and expressed surprise and disappointment to you, based on your
“385 engines are heavy” statement.
So Tom, I will ask you. What is the actual difference in weight between an Fe and a 385 at similar displacement, built in similar fashion (i.e. iron heads, iron intake, etc. ) and fitted with the same accessories?
The report above shows about 30lbs, (the FE does have an alum intake)
I believe you speak from a very different perspective than most, as your business lives and breaths on the sale of that nostalgia.
for what its worth, I don't hate FE's, but continually hearing the FE faithful spout about their mythical superiority based on opinion is like listening to Evan talk about how "Real" his car is. It is Fe-xhausting.
