I have to agree...I have never seen a small block get more attention than an big block FE. When i had my small block build people were always disappointed when i lifted the hood. It was always, "awww man, cool engine, but i thought it was going to be a 427fe"
There are some people that might say they prefer a small block for driving cruising etc., but when it comes down to selling, the FE builds will always bring more money.
On the topic of the new modular 5.0 there is one problem and that is the top half of the engine isnt very attractive, even with the dress up kit. I am sure they will address this problem soon and aftermarket parts will be available to make it look better, but with the exception of the 5.0 mod motors with a twin screw supercharger sitting on top, i have to agree that the stock intake and dress up kit are pretty fugly.
