I just look this up not to long ago and the 385 is 10lbs lighter than a FE.
I definely would rather have an FE in my 427 Cobra.

Richard Petty said that the Boss 429 was so strong he felt he could run another 500 mile race with the same engine.
I agree with you because of what I stated above. The 429 was design to replace the 427 but didn't get the chance to shine in the 70s due to cu in restrictions in racing in NASCAR
I am interested in what your opinion is on a 385 running endurance racing at high RPM like NASCAR.
