Oh, There are some FE's laying around the shop, but what I was implying? was that many more of my old engines and stuff are used as designer/collector coffee tables,etc, than trailer queen powerplants-------

Yet the majority of buyers out there still think that the LSx in a Cobra is dumb. No matter how badass of an engine it is, it hurts resale (perhaps not final value, but the amount of time to sell).

Now look at the pro touring 1st gen Camaros's with the LSx. $$$$$$$$$$$$$ That is a good place for the engine and they get the money deserved.

So back to the Coyote, I do believe that the market is extremely thinned out once you go this route as far as resale is concerned. Again, the final dollar may be close to an old(er) school powerplant, but there is little to no doubt that it takes longer to find that special buyer. It certainly steered me away from it, plus I wanted something with a nice cam anyway.
