The resale price decides and so I'll say it succinctly: A Dart block 427 Cobra has higher resale than a FE 427. I agree with DougD, we have little originality in our replicas (replicas are awesome Cobras!) and no one in their right mind would tell me "Oh Ward L, that engine doesn't cut it dude!" Ha, Ha, Ha! They are both incredible engines! You are just going to pay more for a Dart block. Ding, Ding, your turn....

Ummm, I prefer my big ass 427 to 527FE stroker all aluminum Shelby motor over a 427 Windsor any day of the week. Ive never driven anything like this car. It's a real joy and the torque is something a small block could never produce without twin turbos. A dart block does not have a higher resale than an FE. That is laughable.
