Morris (KMP259) is running with a stroked FE
Tom does he use the car as a cruiser or does he track it occasionally? What is your opinion on this since you defiantely race?

If you want to road race an FE engine---take a 427 block and destroke it to
3.5 with a 352 crank---no matter how balanced or setup your car is--it is hard to control the torque of a monster when you are under 2-3 lateral Gs and a lot of forward acceration---your body just does not have the ability to process theinfo your car is feeding it so you can control your right foot.....

Well I wouldn't want to destroke it but this kind of info does point me in the direction of running a standard crank.
