Ya, go tell that to the gazillion of T, A, Deuce, and every other year of Ford coupe, roadster, sedan, or cabriolet running around with the 350/350 chebbie combo in it!!!!

Still looking for a decent (if they ever made one decent) late 80's or early 90's Vette to fill the underhood area with a Blue Oval Beast!!!!!

The price of building a small block Ford used to be an issue, but that's not it at all anymore....and with the 4.6 and 5.4 OHC and DOHC engines putting an ez 300 or more horse to the ground with minimal mods, chebbie had better wake up and come up with a modern replacement for the old sbc or they're gonna be really lagging behind in popularity and performance in the years to come..... Pushrods and carbs are eventually going to be dinosaurs and Ford definitely has a BIG head start on the new technologies and their availability to the average Hot Rodder at an affordable price.....Not putting the chebbies down, just an observation on what I see happening.
