What does FE stand for?

It's not called a 302W, just a plain 302. The 351s got letter suffixes to differentiate them because there were three different engines with that displacement. Same way the 400 is just a 400, not a 400M even though it shares the same block as the 351M. (There was a 302C in Australia though...)
And the Windsor-series "small blocks" (221/255/260/289/302/351W) were manufactured in the Windsor engine plant, but "thicker block to handle the cold"? That doesn't even make sense.

No but it's funny as 'ell.
As an added option with the Windsor block, you could get an engine Snuggie for only $152.99!!!
I dunno where some folks think of this stuff :P

FE Ford Edsel Lots of miles with FE's nothing wrong with them. They did what they were supposed to from low comp truck motors to Lemans. The motor itself is not that heavy although the intake is. The odd design of the head and intake is about the same as my 3.0 Vulcan in the Taurus. Didn't GM think enough of it to make the 2.8 and newer V6's like it too? Could be wrong.
