depends BOR . i sold the two 390's i had right away as they were true 390's and there is quite a demand in certain circles for them . now the 360's well .... let's say there's a lot of misinformation out there and no one would believe that with a simple crank swap they were a 390 ... except for the fella who did buy 'em . he was quite pleased as the bigger ones are getting scarce . 351's are a good motor , but i just tend to like to wander i slightly different path so ........the 4.6 mod is still haunting my mind but that's aways into the future with a different truck and when i can stop draggin home every barn find i get my mits on ................... 15 mpg looks and sounds good julie when my flatty only gets 8.5 to 9 mpg at best .

This does not address the FE specifically, but I find it interesting nonetheless. It is from the Ford Racing catalog.
