That was not my experience two years ago when I was in the market to buy. What I observed was that any engine other than a Ford consistently had a lower asking price and was often on the market much longer.
In retrospect I probably should have bought one of those dirt cheap (especially if it had an auto tranny), yanked the engine and transmission and sold it to someone with a bowtie fetish, then replaced it with something fresh. Ah, lost opportunities...
