No matter what body they put on them, they're still powered by a motor based on the Mopar Hemi.

JFR (John Force Racing) Has taken their Mustang bodies & "converted" them to Camaros.

I understand Ford spent millions redesigning the engine for Force… now he's putting Chevy valve covers on Ford's investment.

Ford redesigned the Mopar Hemi (mostly strengthening components) and called it the Boss 500 but it bears no resemblance to the original Ford Boss 429...it does, however, closely resemble the Mopar Hemi.

Which illustrates the status of the sport...you can perfume a pig but it's still a pig.

Not sure how many parts from a 392 or 426 will interchange with any of the aftermarket race engines in use today either.
