Least it wasn't a fucking red shell

Yeah, but the "FE" name for the venerable BBF does indeed stand for "Ford/Edsel".


I'm surprised. It was the big block of choice for the Mustang, T-bird, Galaxie; pretty much anything cool in the 60s that came from big blue would have had the FE as its top option.

Also, I reiterate: I wish the counter monkeys in my neck of the woods gave half as much of a poo poo as you. Only the old farts at one particular Napa know anything about anything.

The FE has tons of support; the MEL is rare. They had that dumb canted deck thing like Chevy 348/409 where the pistons formed the shape of the combustion chamber instead of the cylinder heads, which were pretty much flat.
