Again, it all depends on what you are looking for. To the average guy on the street it won't matter at all. Most people can't tell the difference and don't care. To the Cobra enthusiast it can matter a lot (just read the threads here about Chevy engines). If you like it, that's all that really matters.
The Chevy engine will most likely detract from the price which means you may (probably) get less when you sell, but you may (should) pay less when you buy.
The average guy on the street can't tell a Classic Roadsters from a FFR from an original. They just see a really cool car. The enthusiasts can (and will) gladly share their opinions if you ask them.
