Just been looking at engines and noticed that for similar specs, the Ford engines are more expensive than Chevy engines.
For a couple of examples....
In US:
Chevy: 350ci, 330hp, $6,000
Ford: 302ci, 330hp, $7,000
So around 17% more expensive
In UK:
Chevy: 350ci, 330hp, £3,500 plus VAT
Ford: 302ci, 330hp, £4,400 plus VAT
So around 25% more expensive
Is there any fundamental reason for this? I know there's a strong view that a GT40 should have a Ford engine etc, so don't want to start any arguments! But what justifies the premium?
Cheers
James
