There almost twics the cost and more, versus like Chevys.

But, I do prefer an FE, second a 385 series (Ford 460) third a Ford 351, bored/stroked to 427ci.

I'm going through the same decision. But I built mine back in 2000 with a 428FE. Ineed a new engine so because of cost, I'm thinking about a 460, bored and strokes to ?.....
Much cheaper and more power for the money.

I like having a FE in the car though, so I'll see.

You do realize that the original poster is in Australia, and his choices are much limited.
