An aluminum block in a CSX 4000 Shelby Cobra, rather than the Holly Grail The Magnificent The One and Only Iron 427 Side Oiler?

Turk,
The csx cars built today can be looked at in two ways. A car built in the year 200?. Or a car built in the 60's. In the year.let's say 2030, would a buyer spend more for a car with the aluminum engine or a 60's iron motor when the car was technically assembled in the 2000's. In their own right even the cars today will hold their own in value. How about all the other things that need to be considered. Wiring, lights switches, guages..everything! I am going to be building soon and am trying to think of which way I want to go with my car. I figure since it's fiberglass it will never be totaly pure so why bother getting everything else original and maybe just use what Shelby offers now as the parts package. After all it is still Shelby stuff...right? Help!

Sal- IMO in 2030 there won't be any gasoline, or if there is you will be imprisoned if you drive anything that gets less than 100 mpg! The car will make a helluva casket, though.
My opinion.
