Could I get more power out of a 385series bbf then? Again, almost definitely.
To some these are more than enough reason to choose something other than an FE.
But for me, if given the option, I'd go FE all day, everyday, in a cobra. It's the big bad engine/legend they banned because they feared its dominance. The fact a SBF could probably whip my a$$ around a track is irrelevant.
So in short, no regrets on the FE, even if one day I wake up and decide a nice little 289 slabside would look good in my garage.
