thats interesting, I know Force bought a bunch of CNC machine equipment from Ford last year to make their own blocks and such. which I am sure is what is in the Daughters dragsters, or will be eventually. I will know more when they get to Denver this summer

That is cool. I always laughed at people that cheered on a particular funny car because of the "motor" it ran thinking it was a Dodge, Chevy, Ford motor. Now you can truly say this is a Ford motor. This statement said it all for me:

“We had three things in mind when we set out on this project,” Davis said. “First, for marketing purposes, we wanted to say that we were putting reality behind the term ‘Powered by Ford.’

“Second, on the technical side, we have always helped out with aero, chassis development and now safety, but we always stopped short of the engine. This project has been a technical exercise for our engineers and the Force team to take the current motor, redesign it and make it a Ford.
