I ran a Ford probe C/A in div 6 around 1999-2001. I built a 356 with yates heads and was able to run .58 under the index at the time. Today a Ford could still be competitive in comp,down in aus the pro stocks are 400 ci and fords are doing well there.

There is nothing really holding fords back these days,the parts really don't cost that much more then the chevy stuff and you have to remember all the good chevy heads are based off the splayed valve yates head....

If I was not able to get Hurleys T-bird like I did I would be building a new C/A mustang to race.Howie Stevens should have his new Don Ness built mustang real soon and it will run either B/A or C/A and I think it will be very competitive.He has some killer heads that are as good as anything out there.My friend holds the C/A record right now with a splayed valve chevy deal and Howies stuff is better by far then his.

A Ford can be done in comp...I think nobody does it because you are pretty much on your own,no going to the local engine builder and ordering a .65 under engine..
