Actually I think the 427 Cobra body would torpedo the value of my SBC dirt Late Model engines. Likewise, you'd torpedo the value of an FE427SO or an aluminum Shelby motor by putting it in a dirt Late Model and then try to sell it to a DLM racer.
How is putting an engine in a car and enjoying it, equate to trying to sell it. Not everyone derives their enjoyment from their car based on its accuracy relative to CSX4206 with original NASCAR 427 SO and dual quads. Not everyone is a pompous a$$ either.
