But since I want a 427 replica, it has to be an FE. THAT is my dream. So that is what I aspire to. And I have to say, even before this thread, I was a fan of KCR engines - particularly the Pond aluminium block.

I've built many a small block but the Robert Pond FE S/O block's attention to detail held me in total awe, not to mention Keith's detailed workmanship. What really caught my eye was the thick walled bronze lined lifter bores that were honed showing a "text book" cross hatching on the bores. It seemed like a shame to button it up hiding the detail and workmanship from others to see. With the casting numbers and the block painted it would be hard to tell the difference from an original "Shelby Cobra" 65 block..
