I also agree with DC Cobra, $14K sounds cheap to me.

I come from the background of Do-it-yourselfers, so I always try to find the cheapest/best way to do things. So $14K sounds high when I can get a crate for $3K to $7K. I understand that an aluminum engines price would be higher because I can get the Grand Daddy of all chevy engines (
ZL1 454 complete) for $18,000.
So, is the answer to my main question that a 427 engine is more original so it's valued more?
I would also think that the engine is the greatest loss when selling a car. I've seen so many cars (superformance mainly) on Cobra Country saying something like "I've got $65,000 in the car and will sell for $45,000."
I'm willing to bet they could take the $14,000 engine out and still sell the car for $35,000.
Am I way off base?
