Correct. What got me is that GM and MOPAR (AMC also) would sell a performance car off the showroom floor whereas with FORD you had to know someone or build it yourself. In my opinion, this didn't change until the advent of the 1968 CJ and FORD executives had to be beat over the head on that one.
Also, I am amazed at how you guys have made the Y-BLOCK into such a terror it has become, My first cars were a 60 and 64 FORD and I was an FE guy. When I bought my first '57, naturally the first thought was a transplant as I considered the Y as old tech and all of this was right in the middle of the MUSCLE CAR WARS.
On the GM subject, FORD used engine series on all of their car/truck lines and had to modify them for different car lines whereas GM had different power for different car divisions.
But I am FORD BLUE but consider it important to know and respect the enemy.
