Hi my name is dave you could probably tell bye the screen name. I am new to the fe big block too I just got a 390 mach 1, I have a few questions about the fe and other things.Is there any way you could take a 352 or 390 anything lower than a 428 fe and turn it in to a 427 side oiler that everybody talks about or is them vain things in the engine that gets the oil to where it needs to go different I know that is not the name but I have been told that there is such a thing like that, or is the hole engine machined different from the factory. I know a littel bit about motors, I understand a littel how it works I have tore down a 351 cleveland but still learning a lot. I no this is a big block thread but could you turn a reguler 351 cleveland with 4 bolt main in to a boss 351 or are they machined different too, and is the 312 in the fe family, I know it is a Y block but is all fe,s a Y block. I also have read that ford did not put many of the 427 engines in the mustang and fairlanes because they where expensive to make but I always wonder why did they put them in the big galaxies or was there only a few of them too and also why didn't the 428 cobra jet come with 14 bolt holes like the 390 for the shock towers. I have always wonder about these question I know I am like a littel kid asking all kinds of questions but I would apprectate if any body could answer them for me . Thanks Dave
