It seems to me that CSX, Kirkham and ERA typically have FE motors, but most other replicas including SPF typically have SBF. Since your friend has a SPF, a SBF engine would not seem to impact resale value down the road.

This is so true. When you see a Kirkham, CSX, ERA or Contemporary 427 style car, you expect to see a FE when the hood opens. When you see a Superformance, Factory Five, or a host of others, you expect to see a small block. Backdraft seems to be a tossup between small blocks and Coyote's. A lot is dictated by the car.
As for value, it's super difficult to make money with these, and trying to is almost a fools errand. That said, there's nothing at all wrong with trying to do things the right way to minimize loss or even come close to breaking even. That's just smart. For example, it would be foolish to install an expensive high end 347 small block stroker build under the hood of an ERA. Why pre-dig the hole as deep as you can with poor planning and decision making when there are ways to attempt to correct that from the jump? There's nothing at all wrong with trying to preserve value as best you can by building a quality car with good decision making. |
