Personally, when it comes to engines, an aftermarket all aluminum FE for about $20K +/- works for me. I don't need NOS blocks, heads, intakes, etc. |
Then a nice original 427SO will be in the same range if not more. I consider $35K to be in the same range as $38K. I was likely low on my estimate that why I qualified it with words like "every bit of".
Point is you can get BB power for alot less if you can do with out the Holy Grail of Cobra engines and the 427SO is clearly that IMHO or a nice aluminum block 427 like the Shelby block.
