    How many do you have for sale?  I may just buy them all as I can't seem to find any investment real estate right now...

    Ten of each should do it.  Maybe an extra Boss 302 since they are prone to throwing rods.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    It would be nice if someone could find current prices for the currently available engines.

    1968 T-code Coupe with a 302.  Nice car, no show stopper for sure, but I like it.

    The thing we are missing is inflation.  Without knowing what year the ads are from its hard to figure exactly how much more the engines are worth today relatively speaking.  I mean, a brand new Boss 429 cost $4,740 in 1969, but that car today sold new would go for at least the $70,000 they are getting for the 2021 GT500; maybe more. 

    Then you get into scarcity, which in a market where demand outstrips supply also effects price.  Back then you could just go to the Ford parts counter and buy any of those engines new.  All you had to do was pay for them.  Today they are rare birds.  Today a lot more guys are looking for one of those engines than there are engines to buy, so its a seller's market, driving prices upward. 

    The mitigating factor is that you can also buy modern recreations of most of these (the tunnel port would probably be the hardest to recreate).  Does this drive prices up on original engines or down?  Hard to say.

    Sure.  Dove, Shelby, and possibly one other source all make new blocks.  Dove I think makes new heads and intakes.  Cranks, rods, etc. are all available.  Even cams, etc. can be had new.  All it takes is cash measured in cubic yards...
