Happy, cause we've got 2 days to play in snow with the ATVs! Tonight I'm actually pulling mine in the shop to see about putting another exhaust tail pipe on. Gonna see if I can get a little more power out of her, while still keeping her quiet. I use it for hunting as well, so any increase in noise will not be a good thing.

Consider it an advertising device
I won't get into the TYPES of people who would say "big block" when referring to a Ford engine

What Ford did or did not do in descriptions has little to do with what's evolved over the years and is now accepted as gospel now.

I got two of those 390 FE Big Blocks . personally I like the terminoly of what FTE has given to FE engines.
krewat, let me be the first to say good name.
But then again I heard of people calling engines, motors.... this is technically not correct.
It all part of the internet jumbo, mumbo, feeling gumbo

427 block, punched 30 over and a 428 crankshaft. Used to love the puzzled look on the Chevy guys faces when they saw it.
