Anthony,
I built new and just got it back from its first freshen. Pro Power Racing Engines does my engines. They are one of the top dirt Late Model engine builders in the country and build both Ford and Chevy.
A year ago an all new 18 deg. Chevy was 27,000 and a new Ford SC1 was 31,000. That's without a carb ($1200), pumps ($2200), or lines, filters, tank, etc. The Chevy tall-deck block ($6300) would add another $2,000 over the price of a Dart, Rodeck, or Brodix block. These are pretty much standard prices for this type of engine and from a builder of their caliber.
The Ford makes about 35 more HP on the dyno and fully lightened, weighs about 30 lbs more also.
They do the SB2.2 for around 30,000, but like the Ford, it's not used very much.
Dirt Late Model racing is my passion, so I never even considered any other engine for the Cobra. As far as resale value, I never considered it.
