Lotsa 351s, brakes that even GT40s didn't have and more. Not a knock on Curt V. and the guys there, but rather a comment on what "vintage" has become.

Yep, I know what you're talking about....but it's like that from coast to coast......More Rousch built Ford motors at most Vintage races than at a NASCAR race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just look at their catalog, NASCAR built stainless steel step headers, somewhere over 4 grand a set, that much for a trans., 2 and 3 disc lightweight 5 inch clutches,etc.,etc......
Whether you're running a Mustang or a Vette or a Camaro, they all run pretty much the same stuff........like I said:racin=$$$$$$$$, the top dogs race on cubic dollars, something I'll never be able to do, but that's o-k, I'm still having a ton of fun, even running mid pack......
The only series I know of that is back to the basics is CVAR in Texas. They are super strict on the cars and must run everything on the cars that was avaliable "back in the day".....none of the new trick stuff allowed........just old school stuff, and old school racing........
