it is hard to balance your check book with your testoserone level
Previous FE Cars:   1965 Ford Galaxie 390/4spd then upgraded to 427 sideoiler
1970 Maverick 427 sideoiler.  X Pro Stock Car, previous owner had a cammer in it but that was beyond my budget
Current build in progress 1964 Thunderbolt Clone

A Two-on plate. Even if he had the other drag side, and the core boxes, it'd still be quite the effort to get them rigged and recreate the process work to cast them. Jay, here's your next project..... :)

Still amazing it escaped destruction by Ford.

I know the website lists them but is DOVE Manufacturing still manufacturing any FE based blocks?

Best,
Kelly

Simply answer is no, think he is still using and selling some stuff that didnt pass QC from back in the day. That is saying alot from Dove. Its really a shame that they dont let someone do something with the stuff instead of leaving it out side in the weeds.

That stuff needs to be in an industrial museum or The Henry Ford.
