The 427FE I have is one of the rarest ever made, and its been in the family for 35 years. While I know I could "buy" an FE block ($800+ probably another $200 shipping and 3-4weeks for a top-oiler 427 at DSC), it certainly wouldn't be the same to me. To me, there is no legitimate reason to build an FE engine, except cool-factor and nostalgia.
