Default Re: FE Build Complexity
I have heard many times that you really need to know what you are doing to build an FE. However, I have never seen a specific explanation on why an FE is any harder to build than any other type of engine. I can understand if it takes some special tools but come on, it's a 40 year old design. Is it a myth, part of the mystique, or the mechanics...inquirying minds want to know?

Realistically, if someone has built SBs before and had an FE book, could they successfully do a reliable "high performing" FE?

Thx,
Bluedog
