For all you gear heads...Wow... :B Interesting Ford went back to a naturally aspirated engine at 5.2L and a Flat Plane Crank. Link

$ per horsepower
A lot of rodders get their engines, nowadays, out of wrecked trucks, at the salvage/junk yard. The cost should be similar whether it's a Ford, a Chevy or a Dodge, when it's out of a junker or a parts vehicle.
If anything the Ford engine should be the cheapest. Doesn't Ford crank out the most pickup trucks ? Volume...volume,,volume...equals less cost. More produced= more in accidents....just due to the higher numbers on the road.
The engines that more more expensive...are usually those with less miles on them. When you buy an engine out of a write off...you're buying unused, future miles.
Rodders also usually want the most powerful V8 engine they can get...high performance after all.
The problem with the Ford engines (i.e. 302, 351 Cleveland, 351 Windsor) shared very little to no parts with one another.
