Thanks for your "measured" response. Ouch
Correct me if I am wrong but a ZR1 engine (especially with blower) is likely more $$$ than the FFR kit itself thus upping our OP build budget likely way beyond where he wants to go. A crate 302 although a great motor is likely not near the price of a crate ZR1 engine with blower. You would want the blower right???... since without it you might as well by the 302.
Hell, why not put the new Ford 5.8 liter with the TVS in the FFR if you are climbing the ladder for the most expensive American motors. At least you keep it in the Ford family.

So, yes, if you put a ZR1 engine in a FFR kit it would likely sell pretty easily. I would by it myself for the motor pull it out and put a nice 351W or 5.0 in it and sell the ZR1 motor.

My comment still stands. Apples to apples, equivalent motor to equivalent motor Ford is the way to go and putting a Chevy motor in a Cobra replica in most cases (we will except from this argument the ZR1 motor) will torpedo the value of your replica. Anyone who says or thinks otherwise is a ...

Never mind.
