Some guys build a car around a motor thay allready have, or just like one they used to have. Say you had a screaming clevelend back in the 70's and you want that again, but this time in a cobra body. Windsors are popular because they have great selection of hi-perf parts available for them, you can build more power for less cash in a windsor than any other ford motor. Any they weigh less too. The biggest factor on resale is not the motor, but the chassis/body manufacturer.
