As I understand it, from my own experience.....

You can build two chevy engines for the price of one ford.
You can build two fords for the price of one hemi!

It all comes down to costs.

I was looking at a Busch spec Ford motor recently, it was up for $26000. Pretty sure it had Yates heads, and had some good power.

I bought a Ron Hutter Busch spec Chevy motor for $13000

A Chevy SB2.2 Cup spec motor recently went for $22000

These were used motors, probably too tired for use in the series now, but fine for someone who did ARCA, or some feeder series, or even a dirt series.

So it all comes down to the $$$$$
