The price is correct according to the 2007 FRPP catalog.
Don't forget that the FRPP muffler for it costs $2500.00

Keep in mind it is a fully dressed engine with A/C and the works. This engine can also tolerate in excess of 1000 HP, stock. Fully dressed like that I'd say it's worth $20k, easily. Don't forget it's got a $6k blower mounted on it as well, a $2k clutch etc.
You can't compare the price to say that of any old long block, which is not even close to a complete assembly. You should also not value an engine based on it's "stated horsepower" either.
Pull the blower off a 4V terminator engine. Stock, it will make the same HP as a stock 3V GT engine. Which is better?

These things are hand-built and tested. Dyno'ed etc. If you look at the FRPP site and catalog, they detail the process. This is the single most expensive engine Ford has ever offered for a passenger car. I will admit, the number is beyond staggering, but remember the car it goes into commanded a price tag of over $150,000. Everything about that engine is special, it isn't just a regular old truck 5.4. The FRPP catalog lists this engine at $36,000 so that number is real.

Incidentally, I checked the price on the engine that goes into the GT500. It's on the catalog for $15,999.00. I'd go with this one and save myself like 55%.

The engines are very similar and one is 16,000 and the other is 37g's ?!?!? that's my point that it isn't worth that much. Not to say its a bad engine or anything, just the fact that 16,000 sounded right about dead on with that engine to me, fully dressed.

Pah! For $37 grand you could almost buy a brand new GT500, which is a WHOLE CAR with a 500 hp engine included, and sup it up from there.
And good looking? Eh, not really. If I wanted to spend lots of money on an engine for both looks and power, I'd rather throw the money down on a Roush 402IR Weber 8-Stack or something else.

The GT500 engine is not even in the same league as the Ford GT engine in terms of strength/capability. I don't see people at 1400RWHP on the stock GT500 block.

I don't thik 1400hp on either block will hold up too well the gt block claims 1000hp handling capiblity, I have no idea what the gt500 engine claims, butthey are very similar.

I guess I might be interested if I was building a pure trailer-to-track race car where all money went to performance...but it wouldn't be a Mustang anymore. It'd be more of a Frankenstein kinda thingy...like a ricer only not as retarded.
I guess I was looking at this engine from the viewpoint of someone wanting to sup up their street car. Didn't make sense to me.
BTW, there's a black GT500 convertable, loaded, sitting on my dealership showroom floor, for $45k. My salesman's got another on the lot that's a little less featured, for $41k. Not bad....but I'll wait a bit longer...
