It is a outstanding time for the FE.
There are multiple manufacturers producing blocks and heads and everything to build
a complete new FE. And it will be better than anything the factory put out.
You can not go wrong with any of the available blocks.
Although not cheap compared to a small block crate engine, the ability to build a XXX ci FE
with top shelf parts is really just a phone call away.
And the required credit card use.
