and yet cost for the cost they would still come out to the same price, being that the crate engine will probably be 10-12k and make 400hp, or an aftermarket "non ford" ford engine will make a ****load more power than the coyote, so i'll stick to my original argument, all i give a **** about is power, and how i make that power and the pushrod is still cheaper and more superior to that aspect
That's fine by me...just change your comparison wording. Your aftermarket built engine may be superior as far as power, but that's about it. Compared to just a 302, even one with bolt ons, it's no comparison...it's Coyote hands down.
