However, I personally would still prefer a stroker 428FE, build correctly for enjoyment with aluminum heads, etc, over a small block stroker and would be willing to pay a good bit more for that engine. However, i still do not believe that a windsor motor would ever command more money than a 427Fe, unless you are at Barrett-Jackson where people are highly intoxicated and clueless as to what they are bidding on.  |
That is true, unless it is in a 289 body style. Also, it amazes me what you can find if you are willing to buy a rust bucket in order to get the gem hiding under the hood. A friend in CT building an ERA bought a beat up Ford plow truck with a broken axle and trashed tranny for $300. In it was a high mileage 428 on its virgin build ready for a rebuild. That same seller had a 5.0 in a wrecked Mustang that also need a rebuild that he was selling for $1000. Go figure...
