"Sideoilers are expensive, and the 427/428 motors tend to have more overall problems due to age, condition, and the big variable, WHO inspected/approved/built them, since they are unique motors. From all I have heard, I would have mine built by Southern, were I to go that way... "
BIB,
Bill Parham (Southern Automotive)is going to pay you a visit, and he is BIG. I mean BIG! ....lol I'm sure he has a different idea than you on FE's. So eat ur Wheaties!!!
Really though, nothing wrong with a FE Block. Not at all. It all comes down to what you want. If you like to pop the hood, and have that 427 look, then your engine will be a FE. And the price ain't bad!
But since I was waffling for 4 weeks on my engine pick, I can say for sure that all the engines are good. All depends on what you want. Speaking of Depends, I will wear a pair the next time I get into a Cobra with a 514! Soooooooooooooo much torque!!!!! WOW!
I like the sound of a stroked SB, so thats the way I went.
Great Asp!
