Not Ranked
When building an FE (or any engine) first look at the application. Then build the motor to it. If you can get away with a budget build-great.
But, I agree with Keith: "Your budget build goes out the door with the new Genesis or Pond block. If you are doing a budget build use a 390 block and do a stroker package that will give you about 430 to 445 C.I. in the 390 block. If you want the new block then you will still want to do the new stroker package. I would not cut corners if I was using a 4000.00 block."
I would contact Barry (Survival) , Keith (Keith Craft), or Dennis (Pops Performance), if doing an FE build. All 3 of these gentlemen have a sterling reputation & an incredible wealth of knowledge on these motors. Anyone of them can help you with any stage of the build.
Merry Christmas to all!!
