I prefer a small block, I'm not at all interested in a 460 SPF for myself. But the question posed is "re-sale" value.
OK,,,,the PROBLEM with a 427 FE (in an SPF or any other Cobra) as far as "re-sale" goes is this:
It cost a LOT more money to put in a 427 as opposed to a 460. It is doubtful you will recover your "investment" because of that. But there is little doubt the 427 will sell for MORE money than a 460. Will you LOOSE more or less percentage with a 460 or a 427 then becomes the question.
Generally speaking I think you will loose MORE by putting in a 427, UNLESS you get a really good deal on the motor! But a 427 SPF will sell WAY FASTER than a 460. I bet you wouldn't even have to advertise it. When was the last time YOU saw an SPF with a 427 for sale? Thats a RARE car!
351W bored/stroked to 427? Not good in my book, TO punched out, TO "over the top" for that block. I'll take one a little smaller please. Alloy 427, like from Shelby? Cool, can I get that for say, $50K total package price? Dream on, IF you find one at that price, BUY IT!
