No one took the EFI engines seriously, and swore that no one would ever race them. It would always be a carburetted world. Now it's the mod engines. They are the future, and as popular as the Windsor pushrod engines are today, they are fading. Fast. I think they'll be in the minority in 5 years, let alone 10.
Take care,

I must seem really old school then. I was brought up thinking that the windsors were the "Low Performance" v-8s. Honestly, if its not in a fox body or a '65, I will rip the darn W out and drop in a 4v cleveland. Maybe even in the two exceptions, given I could make it fit.
But then the only 'vintage' Mustang engines I've ever been exposed to first hand were BOSS 302's. How lucky am I?
