Praise for the FE from HR

Has anyone gotten their latest copy of HR, seems the boys don't think that there is anything wrong with a 505ci 675hp FE. Funny how it can go from a boat anchor to something everyone should consider running in just a few short months. I need a few more minutes of peacefull reading to get the full details of that monster!

At a $1.00 an issue, it's good to have around for aftermarket parts reference.

Is that a Keith Craft build or somebody else? Certainly the techs at hot rod didn't make that much power.

There are a few guys in the country that build FEs for racing and all do a good job. Flatlander is not one of them right Greg! Keith just seems to be the best advertiser. He will be getting some of my money someday.

Hot Rod magazine!

We tend to give them a hard rap for being chebby lovers. They try to say that they're not, but when they do buildups like the one they did on that 390 a while back, it becomes all too apparent that they have very little respect for the same things we do. They just kinda threw that thing together and didn't do near as good of a job as they could have done, especially considering all the free stuff they get to do it with. And still had the nerve to call our beloved FE a boat anchor. Excuse me? A boat anchor. Please.

I haven't yet seen their latest foray into FE world, but I sure hope it's more satisfying than the last one!
