Mustang Pro Stock?
 
They announced this afternoon at Topeka that Larry Morgan will switch to Ford by the end of this season.
They didn't specifically say Pro but what else would Larry switch to?

I can't believe you guys didn't hear they approved the CobraJet engine for Pro Stock. It must have more than the 425 they factored it.....


Couldn't resist stirring the pot with you guys

Yes, he will be in P/S.

Saw an article that Ford has been allowed to downsize the Mustang body and it is as aerodynamic as a GXP.

Wonder if Mopar will get to scale down a Challenger?

What type of engine can they use? There's no way a 4.6 will go to 500ci and will they allow ohc motors, Hell they might just bolt on fat tires and change the blower and run funny car!

I don't think the Chevy guys would go for those 4-valve cylinder heads OR the blower!!!

They're funny that way... just ask Buddy Ingersoll... LOL!

You all forget John Force has been building a Ford motor.

I love the people on here that post something negative on every subject. Why do you continue to do something you hate, or at least by most peoples post on here you would think they hate it. I met Larry at a local track in 1989, he parked next to me at a regular Test and Tune, very nice guy and I hope he does good iwth the program

P/S specifically prohibits forced induction, but with a genuine part number, it'd be hard to outlaw the OHC heads unless they add a clause requiring PUSHROD engines. Even so, I seriously doubt the 4.6 could compete with 500ci engines. My guess is they'll simply wuse a "small" IHRA P/S motor as many still run "Ford" in IHRA P/S.
Now taking this a step further, why couldn't they bore & stroke a 5.4 out to say 427 cubes, use the OHC heads, REALLY lighten the car & go P/S racing. There's NOTHING really "stock" about P/S anymore anyhow:( so why not engineer a car most of us would consider an F/X car anyway?
