Hot Rods FE's done right -pics?

Here's a few I've done.

 

A few more....

 

This is it for now.
I'm looking for a picture I took of a Kinsler timed machanical fuel injected FE engine that's running in a vintage Can-Am car.

 

Sure wish I had your job!

 

I know it has nothing to do with the post but that 57 is butt kickin cool

 

Here's the injected FE for this Can-Am car.

 

Umm, Dynoroom, that is some serious FE porn right there. OMG!!!!

 

Here's my FE in the Roadster 390 +60 (401), triple 94's, backed by a close ratio top loader.

 

My Dad's old daily driver: 390, Toploader 4 speed, solid lifter motor, police-interceptor intake, Cal Custom Valve Covers and a few other randoms nothing special.

 

I remember reading an article on how the FE got its designation and IF I remember correctly it comes from "FE" on the periodic table of elemts, as in iron. It meant iron block. Kind of like calling D Day "Day" Day. The again I'm not a Ford guy...

 

"Ford Engine" Nothing to do with Edsel.....

 

A couple....

 

Damn, those are nice! Any chance you could post thumbnail pics of those??? Thanks!

 

Makes perfect sense . The FE is indeed iron except for a few aluminum ones ... but what were YBlocks and Flatheads made from?

Ford Edsel

 

Yep, Ford-Edsel- just like the MEL stood for Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln. My old roommate's dad was a District Service Engineer for Lincoln-Mercury in the sixties and seventies, and always referred to the Ford-Edsel engine. He never cared for the 427, and loved the 390, as at L-M they were into smooooth and quiet. I also have a '65 Vic Hubbard catalog listing their own line of valve covers, showing the ones for the "Ford-Edsel" engine
Really, think about it- FE for Fe, or iron, or Ford Engine, just don't make sense, considering how many other engine "families" have been produced by Ford, all Ford engines, and most containing large amounts of iron

 

This is where FEs are happiest, and this is how they're supposed to be dressed.

428CJ in my 1967 Falcon. 428's are FE's also.

 

I always heard that FE stands for "Freakin Expensive"! Nevertheless, I love my 390/C6 in my 1955 F100.

My cast iron 427 sideoiler is in a ERA Cobra. Car runs perfect and is For Sale!

 

^^^^^^^^^^^Now that's a cool '58 Custom with tri-power! I likey!

 

The 406 FE in my 63-1/2 Galaxie..Won the 2010 East Coast Nostalgia Superstock Championship with FE power!

 

I enjoyed looking at the posted photos above.

Here's my 428. Built very strong, and then we put a mildish solid lift, in it. The goal, to have good drivability and reliability, as we drive it a lot, and plan to take it on some very long cruises.

 

Great thread---I run a 302 sbf. Think I'll go jump off a bridge.

 

I know what "FE" doesn't stand for; Fuel efficient!

Here's mine; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud3u5wgkeJk

 

Dang, we'd like to see this, and hear some details!!!
