Actually those engines take a lot more than that. John Mihovetz runs a Cougar mostly in the PSCA series but also in Comp AA/AT or BB/AT. Also Steve Matusek Jr. runs one in a Mustang Comp/Pro Mod. That's the same basic engine... going 6.20's! There are LS1's making that sort of power too. I always thought "newfangled junk" too.

An LS1 would need a replacement rotating assembly to handle that kind of HP and survive. I believe that the SC Mustang motors have forged cranks, rods, and pistons.
