Friend of mines brother used to be big in the street racing scene (the kind where big bucks swap hands) and ran 5.0 Mustangs. He would use a stock bottom end with a big shot of NAWS till it puked. Said the sbf were so cheap he would rather do it that way than spend money on a stout bottom end. Tim

Yeah they are pretty quick, but I think a HUGE reason they are so fast and successful is the Fox body platform (pretty much a drag suspension under them from the factory). Before the Fox cars came out, the SBF was pretty much a dog (save for the Clevelands), then in a flash of light and a puff of smoke they are instant hero motors, and then followed the huge aftermarket. On paper I would venture to say the SBM has more potential that a SBF, but I could be wrong.
It would be interesting to see where the SBM developement would be if Mopar would've come out with a Fox type platform in the early 80's.....Oh well
