FE's are great, but a little trickier than the 385's to make into big HP motors. But HP is really not relevant after a certain point. It's 1965 technology, not a 911 GT2, so the extra HP is just more wheelspin in most situations.

Also, I'd check the streetability of that 385. Big compression? Solid cam? Big lift cam? Roller lifters? Race heads?

If so, that's a very poor setup for longevity.
