    meaning of th FE word...:D

     



    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! ...come up with another

    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.

    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 )
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

    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!

    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!
    I don't expect it to reach even 500 HP, even though the PC DYNO predicts figures well above that.
    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...
