Bandit...that's probably my fault...I was comparing the 385 to the FE, but you really can't talk about the development of the 385 without talking about the BBChev. Others took it from there. I really didn't want to debate Ford/Chev since (I hope) we're all Ford guys her. Heck, I have a BBChev in my Drag Boat. It's what it came with, but if I was to build a "real" motor for it, it would definately be a 385 Ford.
