I believe my "old school" FE side-oiler (even has a good 'ol SFT cam) in my SPF comes pretty close to accomplishing that goal. So, for me, the FE was the only option.

This is the thing that I find odd, SPF square frame not a chassis part is even close to an original, body probably fiberglass, thinks nothing of maybe having a 5 spd, but has to have an FE or it's just not real enough for him.
