2.5 EE block vs FF

**2.4Viper** · 10-22-2020, 07:23 PM

Recently picked up a 2.5 EE 200, was wondering what the difference is compare to a ff aside from the chest? Different internal porting? Does the EE have reliefs in the cylinders like the 175’s? Would I be wasting my time with the ee if I were to modify it. Not racing it so don’t need every last ounce of power. Thanks

No relief ports in an EE. They are good runners. I’ve had one of my stock ported carb EE’s go 116mph.

Yea I got a EE on my Stream you will still have a good time on the lake with it, from what I've read there isn't too much of a difference on the water between the EE and FF

EE will run great to

FF will produce 80 more horsepower and make you a chick magnet. All ya gotta do is read up on them

And before this turns into another bloodbath...There is NOTHING WRONG with an FF, it's a GOOD motor. It is NOT supernatural or magical. The fact that this thread was even started with this question demonstrates the ridiculous hype going around about these blocks. The OP read SOMEWHERE about the tremendous superiority of an FF. This kind of crap always annoys me, but I'm a cranky old bastard anyway.

I just did the CT River Run on Sunday and had no trouble running with the front pack regardless of the letters stamped on anybody's block using a LOWLY and obsolete 2.4.

You just be quiet. The FF is FAR superior in every way. Its the block of CHAMPION racers....

At least thats my story until my FF is sold. Lol

After that.... I agree 100% lol

It is ridiculous the hype and price tag surrounding the FF blocks, I'm happy to run anything else...

FF jealousy anyone? I can't help it if it makes 80 more hp and turns me into a chick magnet. Please don't hate me....

At least you could share some of the chicks once in awhile. Goddam FF guys

Hey, you have the cute rabbit on your side. We ff hoarders need all the help we can get.

All I get is his leftovers, he don't share

**XstreamVking** · 10-23-2020, 02:53 PM

At least he's quick about throwing you the leftovers!

Look man, here's the deal. FF is short for Furiously Fast. It's the second iteration in its line. The first was just one F as it was just Fast. It's what real men use on there boats, hence it's chick magnetism.

EE is for Everyone Else. There built with Everything Else that's left after they pull out the superior FF parts.

The choice is yours, you want to put put around with the same old lame 2.5 Everyone Else has, or do you think your man enough for a motor that's so ****ing Fast it literally vaporizes any bikini tops in its vicinity?

I know what's on my transom.
