I had to go look that up... it's actually short for "Ford - Edsel" according to the sources I found. The FE series included goodies like the 390, 427 side-oiler and cammer, and the 428 Super Cobra Jet engines. All from back in the day when tire-shredding torque was king.

A Porsche boxer motor at full tilt makes some sweet sounds. A well-built M-code 351 Cleveland @ 7500 rpm doesn't sound bad either! Can you say "Pantera"?

nope i have no problem with the boxer motor we got. BUT i have a soft spot for the sound of american V8s. I wonder how some of these motors would sound with a higher RPM range.

Well, this is about as far away as you can get from a sports car, but this is a strong American V8, a Ford 351 Cleveland, and my ears tell me that's at least 7000 rpm or more. You can go to your local drag strip to hear them at 8-9k. Enjoy.
