    I've been trying to collect photos of nicely dressed FE's, but can't find alot. Been through all the threads in a search.

    So come on, let's see some!! There has to be a few on here, these engines are COOL!

    Early styled, chromed up, finned, tripowered, HOT ROD power plants.

    Here's a few to get the ball rolling ;)

  2. Love the last one, Cal Customs, Mag, 6 Strombergs, WOW!!
     
  3. The second one is not an FE is it? It has the t-bird valve covers but the wrong bolt pattern on the exhaust and a few other things . . .

    Sorry I don't have a better picture of this one. It was a hi-po 352 with a cross-ram intake. It was an awsome looking set-up.

    My buddy has a 351W with FE valve cover adapters too. He's running the same early Merc VCs that I am on my 352.

    I know you are tired of looking at it but he asked.:D
     
  7. I beleive it's a small block Ford with valve cover adapters to bolt the FE valve covers on, it does look nice though :D. Another member on here has them on his small block, dirtbag13, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/member.php?u=58206 .

    Look closely, the intake extends under the valve cover. It is an FE.

    Here is another from the web.

    And the Greatest FE of all (some would say greatest engine of all time.)

    I don't know if it is done right in other people's eyes, but I like it.

    Shit... I never inspected that picture closely before I posted it. It's hard to see alot of the details on it.

    231ramona that cross ram setup is sick!

    NICE some more six carbed big block Fords!! Those things look awesome! nick-the-kiwi I've seen your car in alot of Aussie mags, I love that tudor!! I always assumed that was running windsor power, I'm glad to be wrong ;) I can't say I could complain about a 427 in a Starliner either :D
     
  25. I wish it was but thats not my car. Harry a buddy of mine built it & finished that car in 2002-3 or there abouts. The pics were taken at Bonneville a couple of years back the car is now back in NZ.
    It sure is one hell of a hotrod.

    This is the engine that I derived my screen name from. a 1967 427 Sideoiler. On the floor getting ready to drop in trans and all and sitting between the aprons after install. I also had factory AC, PS and PDB bolted to the engine and a 63 dual quad set-up with a Mallory crab cap dizzy. Of course solid lifter!! Oh the sweet noise.
