I think it is mostly tradition. Most of the people running comp come from a GM background and are ignorant of the recent improvements in Ford motors.

The other factor is the cost of running a comp car, pro stock prices and sportsman payouts.

Finally John Mihovitz (probably spelled wrong) has a very competitive V8 Ford running in comp. It is a turbo modular motor and usually is the number one qualifier when he competes. He has the traditional turbo consistency problem on race day but the car is very fast.

In my opinion a small block pushrod Ford could be a winning comp car. It would be expensive but no more costly than any other V8 combination. After all the small block Ford is winning in lots of sanctionong bodies other than NHRA.
