(Wow, 4841 views, for a dead post, hmmm, maybe some people are enjoying this.. Ok sit back, he it comes...)
The Dr is in....
And there it is....
Excalibur,
Thank you for validating my opening comments, A true "FE"TARD is incapable of restraining the Tourette component of his condition:
"FE'S ARE THE BEST!" SEE, SEE! HE EVEN SAID IT HIMSELF!! HA..HA,HAHA!"
It's possible the excessive sunshine is magnifying the symptoms of your condition. You might want to try a relocating to a climate that has less, possibly Seattle. A side benefit (for the rest of us) is that city's high suicide rate. Make some friends, sip some decaf, and talk about how much better it will be for you on the other side...
Mr. Schroeder,
I do applaud your attempt to elicit factual data from the afflicted.
I too will be interested in the response.
For reference sake, I went to Keith Crafts website to find actual weight data.
Initially I laughed when I saw that they have a section for big blocks and a separate section for FE's (lol, Im not making that up)

As our ultimate performance sage, Excalibur has stated,(yes Ex im being sarcastic and condescending) more than "500 hp is a waste" I looked to stay near that number for comparison.
He lists a 390FE making 525HP/550FTLBS for $11899.00
He also has an all Alum (Shelby block) 482 that makes 580hp and 600ft/lbs. at $18999.00!!!
He has a Windsor based 408/410 Street/Performance engine that he lists for $9575.00
Then there is the station wagon, truck, school bus, limo" engine
Unfortunately, Actual big blocks (385 series) don’t go that low in hp in Mr. Craft's world. So I used the least powerful version he lists.
514 Street Crate makes 700hp and 650ft/lbs that goes for
$10599.00
So let's do the math together... Go slow for the "FE"tards, they get lost easily.
IRON 390 FE= $22.66 per hp
Alum 482 FE= $32.76 per hp
IRON 408 W = $17.41 per hp
IRON 514 385= $15.14 per hp
Hmmmm, there are those irritating facts again
"You want me on that wall, You need me on that wall"
