Yep just like when I was a kid and would go into super shops and the majority of the stuff was for a SBC. It's just the way it is. There are plenty of Ford sites devoted to engine building, drag racing and restoring cars but nothing PT specific that I know of.

When you say GM you mean LS don't you? Even your Pontiac doesn't have Pontiac power. Some of the Ford on here aren't Fords they have LS power.

Anyway when you pick that Ford someone here will know where to get the info you ned to build it.:D

Not yet, but that is still the plan. It's still running the Pontiac 400 for now (and I just tuned it up last weekend since I still don't have a place to start the teardown yet!).

There are a few guys holding down the fort with some SBC and BBC power still. But yes, it's an LS-world in the majority I think. And I have 600HP of LS-goodness waiting to be installed!!! :woot:

Hmm the pictures in your link the red car has a SBC in it. You know 600hp out of a Pontiac is pretty easy to do these days.:D

Besides, 600 hp out of a Pontiac would be more fun than 600 from an LS.

Hmm, I need to update my link then. Yep, the red car had an SBC, but I've since sold that car and the engine (separately, the engine went to a friend building a hot rod), and have purchased the blue one in my avatar. It is a Formula with (currently) a Pontiac 400. :)

Since I haven't built an LS car yet, I'm definitely going that route. But I definitely appreciate the potential those 'other' engines have...

And Matt, sorry about the hijack. ;)

Pricing should be up in the next week or two, everything should be ready to ship sometime in July. If it does come out to 6 or 7k with remote canister shocks, that is about what I budgeted. Damn Ron, we could still buy a Fox body.
No can do Sir :D. 68 - 70 Fastback. Go big or go home...:cheers:

based upon what I know about pricing on the new sub, pricing is similar to Chevy II sub. Expect just under $7500 retail on bare sub with canister shocks. Actual pricing is being released at Columbus. You know you want to go DSE.:yes:

Yep, that money could probably get us a vin and a roof!

Mike, I do want to go DSE! I think Kyle and Stacy would like me to go DSE, and I'm sure Dick would be happy if I ordered all those parts too :lol:

Here's the latest photo of my handy work. It's amazing what some Fibral and a skim coat of filler can do.
