?? I don't know where you looked but you had me thinking that I might have been out of touch. So I just went and leafed through Cobra Country to see If I'd missed a market trend. I hadn't, big block FE engines still demand a premium over any other power plant in a 427 styled Cobra. All things being equal (manufacturer, equipment etc.) a 427+ FE will get a $5-10k bump on small blocks and other non-traditional power plants.

Now that doesn't mean that it's economically better to install an FE just because EVERYTHING for those bastiges is more expensive than a SB and you won't recoup all of that on a resale. However, to say that a BB 427+ is LESS desirable in the market is just crazy talk.
