ng8264723, in my case, I could not find any original FE cast iron parts worth using, and I didn't want to wait several months to years to accumulate some nice used heads, block, crank, rods, etc. and then down the road ultimately want to upgrade my engine. So, I decided to purchase a crate engine, which happens to be more money than I originally intended on spending for an engine. I broke my budget a long time ago, but I do love peeking under the car cover to look at my Kirkham. At any rate, $10,000-$15,000 saved by going with an ERA could purchase a drivetrain for someone out there.
