Well in that case, the mere fact that you are asking about an FE in this thread tells me that if you don't get one now you'll always wish you did and, absent failing health (fiscal or otherwise), you'll put one in sooner or later. You should go ahead and do it now and just tell the builder what HP/TQ numbers you fancy and they are easily achievable. Remember though that as those numbers go up, the drivability and life-expectancy go down. Only 1 in 100,000 people will appreciate your FE; you will be one of them. The FE will provide you pleasure simply looking at it. It's not the best engine ever made, nor the lightest, nor the strongest, nor the most reliable -- but it's what you obviously want (I understand that) and you won't shut up about it until you get it.
