    Sure they will, but nuthin out performs the old Hemi.

    Burnstein tried to run the Mcgee Twin Cam motor. Good potential, but to costly and difficult to assemble.

    A few guys have tried the Chevy BB and small block, but no luck. They work OK in nostaigia T/F, but not in pro classes.

    The last true Ford T/F motor was the old SOHC, but it was a granade. Cams would start to climb out of the heads and the cam chain was so long.

    a new design was in the works a few years ago with a ford design but nhra killed it, said they would not allow it to run and no new developement or any type. this is just another repackaged mopar design just like a TFX or BAE hemi.

    the last ford t/f engine wasnt the sohc, it was the boss9, it was short lived tho as well.expensive and limited on a few parts. the sohc problems were fixed with the gear drive.but yeah,... in Nostalgia classes they will try and run anything.some live, some dont :D
