found this somewhere...**)
what FE stands for. A few come to mind...
Ford Edsel
Ford Engine
Fairlane Engine
FE is also the chemical symbol for iron
Freakin Expensive
Freakin Enormous
Fast Engine
Feared Engine
Finally Engaged (funny story) and so many more....
Furt Eh?
Factory Error
Faulty Engineering
Friggin' Erratic
Fearsome Encounter
F'Em!
I drive an FE myself, so before you get offended, don't! :LOL: ...come up with another:rolleyes:
How a bout a brand new one....

Since when did this forum turn into the HAMB?? I thought we had a code here that certain words were not cool.
Why don't you two edit your posts and do us all a favor. Both of you should know better, you've been here for awhile.
Don
I edited the two posts by removing 3 letters. No need as I see it to spell out the word. Got it Tommie and R Pope? As you can clearly interpret, kids visit these sites. Let's keep it clean.
yes keep shop language in the shop.... and proper etiquite in the forums... i get enough language abuse in the shop everyday.... coming on the forum is like a break from the real world(yes that also includes people boasting about their 1000000HP small blocks:LOL: )
Okay...:(
I officially apologise for the use of a particular word on this board!!
I'm sorry for posting bad language...
I admit I didn't think about kids reading this, when I posted it...(probably because I have none myself) I certainly didn't realise I'd be offending people, who have to deal with stuff like this during their work!
I did think of the fact that some owners of this particular powerplant might not appreciate it being made fun of...(and would not see the fun intended.) all the rest truly slipped my mind or attention!
So again; Sorry, it wasn't intentional!
Tom
I'm not the type to boast about my FE...I am proud of having rebuild one myself, but i do realise it's my first, so just the fact that i accomplished finishing it, without blowing it up is a big deal to me!Quote:

As long as it is reliable and strong running for as long as i intend to drive it around, I would be very glad to be able to say i did a good job...
Tom
thought about putting a 6 71 on it then :DQuote:

don't want to give away too much on what's beneath it!:D
kinda hard with a 6 71 on top of it, i think :LOL: :LOL:
let's see what it does with all the new drivetrain parts and suspension setup...
when I finally do finish it, i can always redo the powerplant and decide i want a Weiand on top, yes ;) ;)
I don't know if they make a kit for FE's or not, but you could retain the stock hood, and run one of the belt driven units that mount with brackets to the frong of the engine, but are down on the side of the engine rather then on top..... They work very well, too!!!!
Pleaeaeassseee don't get me all hot for more power again!**)
I'm just about done, getting the transmission ready for the pumped up 390...
And I would have to fit another new set of pistons, 'cause I'm running 11 to 1 static Cr right now, wich is borderline pumpgas acceptance as it is, without pressurised inductance aids :D
:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Would I do that???? Heck, what would you do with another 100 horsepower anyway???? Who needs it???:LOL: :LOL:
:LOL: :LOL:
completely agree...500, 600, 700, or even 1000...it's just sluggish anyway...
why spend several thousands to gain this little bit more power!:LOL: :LOL:
on a more serious note :whacked: let's see it together as I planned it to be...with the measily 500 horsies...and see if it all stays together, recognisable as a "car", wich one could call anything close to reliable :HMMM:
maybe ... if i succeed in doing that, I might considder going blown on a second project :D :D

Haha, yes, my grandson pointed it out to me as well. Seems like 19 yr olds have nothing better to do than visit web sites.Quote:

Just who are we trying to kid anyway? Are we going to try and fool ourselves into thinking that we have achieved a certain level of virtuousness just because we don’t type certain words when all the while we are a part of some of the most evil nations ever.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating the use of slang(which happens all the time on this site) or offensive language, but give this world just a few more short years, and even these words that seem so offensive at this time, will not only be accepted, but even find their way into our language as official words and into our dictionaries. I could give you several examples of a few words that have done just that within the last 50 years.
Hypocritical aristocratic influence drives a nation into falsehood. :LOL: :LOL:

just out of curiousity, what did you do with your "stock" 390? any major changes to get it to that number?
got pics?
always nice to see a fresh new rebuild engine!:3dSMILE:
scat crank ross pistons camp cam high energy 33-248-4,
eagle H rods, comp rocker arm kit......not to bad was going to blow it but not know
Looks like it is going to be a very nice Galaxie, Brandon!!! Anxious to see it when it's all put together!!! Love them old Fords!!!!!

It's just common courtesy and consideration..... Maybe if we all lower our standards to the lowest common denominator life will improve??? I doubt it.....
:LOL: I hear you Dave. I still don't like the word, "ain't". It sounds low grade to me.Quote:

This is the most expensive farn equipment I've ever had!!! Fastest too!!!:LOL:
Some guys with bad luck call them "Frequent Explosion" engines but, I really think the meaning is Fairlane Engine. I'm sure others may say I'm wrong but thats the word on the street!!!
Those are the chevy guys. :3dSMILE: JK.... it's is easy to blow one up if you don't build it right!! Like any engine build it's all in the details and prep you put into it.Quote:
