Matt:

For a top quality built 427 (complete with all the bells and whistles), I would be happy to only pay $14K. I am currently pricing out an aluminum engine for a CSX4349 (which I am awaiting delivery on from Shelby) and I am looking at a number over $20K.

It is the old story, supply and demand. I also agree with DC Cobra, $14K sounds cheap to me. Make sure you check out the builder, go with the best top quality builder you can afford.

Best of Luck
