I have no doubt that the overbore and stroke you can get out of a 460 variant is superior to the FE - this has already been addressed. The main reason I'd choose a 385 series from the start is price - THEY ARE CHEAP TO BUILD COMPARATIVELY!!! If power and keeping price down are the main goals of a project put that cheap pig in there - don't think twice. You could tell 98% of the population that it's a side-oiler anyhow and they wouldn't know the difference - I don't know if many people here would know the difference! Heck, maybe most 514/460 owner's think they have FE's! God bless them - seriously - they've found performance on a budget - good for them!
