Actually by the time you throw on the billet pulley's, brackets, alternator, starter, carburator, billet aluminium spark plug wire holders, fuel pump etc tack on another $1K so now you are at $10K. In addition when you look at the individual components inside the block (crank, pistons, etc tack on another 500) An unpolished Roush 427 can be had for $13,500 with a Dart Block.

Still a savings but Ford has had their share of issues with their crate engines. You get what you pay for. No doubt when you resale, a Roush will always fetch a higher price and in this market may be the difference in selling and not selling the car.
