Sure looks like the bogus Toyota package, at least from the outside. Toyota's nothing more than homogenized Ford/Yates and SBC SB2 engineering. This new SBC looks alot like a Ford 385 series combined with 351C. Rumor has it the NASCAR master plan is to have generic V8 design for all manufactures. And like the bodies, the only separation would be the nameplate.

My question is, what does the future hold for traditional OHV engines? Or parts availability for that matter? Ford's push has gone to the modular OHC motors, judging by their current parts program.
