Not at this time. We don't do too much FE stuff. Only small block and 385 series big block parts. If I do run into any good CJ,SCJ or rare FE parts, I'll post them here.

Guys, one engine that some overlook that I personally like in the FE family is the Merc 410. It is a 390 block with 428 crank as I remember. In some big Mercs (Park Lane and Marrauder sp) in 66 through 68 they got the PI intake. Figure you will likely have to bore it 30 or 40 over on the rebuild, it gets you pretty close to a 420. With the 428 crank, very good low end grunt. Many times priced about where the 390 is priced and will hold all of the FE goodies on a rebuild. Not hard to get 400 hp and over 450 TQ out of these engines. A little cam an wow you have a very nice running/sounding engine. The only way to tell the diff from this and a 428 is to measure the cylinder bore. Works real nicely in a AC Cobra project with that intake which was an option on them for the street cars.
