People love notch backs because they are the lightest of the 3 fox models so it makes a great drag car. you are not looking into getting rid of your car are you? I hope not.

This depends which year(s) WS6 you're referring to. I guarantee you the LS1 engines can crank out some high miles and run like brand new. Also, if you're talking about parts being expensive - not really. Considering I can get 500HP on just a cam swap in my Formula, it's dirt-*** cheap. The parts CAN be expensive, but the gains from every part you put into a Formula/WS6 are incredible to say the least. Notches are great platforms to work on, but the prices on Ford parts are honestly ridiculous in comparison to my chevy's.

- On a side note, I still think the fox's are not expensive to build because it doesn't take alot to make them fast, but the parts do add up fairly quickly in cost. I actually did a comparison in cost between stroked 350 and a stroked 351 and the results are interesting to say the least. LS1's and further on the other hand require very little if anything to get them running fast. Hell the stock heads are great in themselves. That saves alot of money right there.
