The reason for me is largly as you have answered, it is the smarter choice in Australia.

My background as a mechanic is mainly with Holden, so that also swayed my decission.

The retail value really does not come into it in Australia, but in saying that given a choice of a legal carby fed small block windsor or a legal carby fed 350 chev, I would go the Windsor.

But looking at it from your point (new build and new emissions to meet) then the physical size of the Ford motor also sways alot of peoples choices.
I dont know a great deal but I also think the ecu software is harder to crack?
And more costly to adjust?
