T-Bone, good topic.  The Norcia's 81 sportsman coupe, driven by Artie Filburn and Don Stives, was powered by a 289 Ford V-8.  That hot rod was very competitive against the Wall Stadium modifieds in the early and mid 60s. 

Speaking of Wall in the 60s, The Dick Barney 14 coupe was powered by an injected Oldsmobile V8. 

The Don House XL-1 was a Ford/Lincoln powered rocket ship. 

Wally Dallenbach and his cousin Richie Massing ran the 35a and 35b, both powered by, I believe, Buick motors.

I recall Johhny Luhrs ran Ford motors at Wall in the 70s. 

At Reading, Nazareth, and sometimes Flemington, the MeMe DeSantis H&J 14 coupe, was powered by a injected Ford V8. 

Getting a little more recent, didn't Billy Pauch Sr occasionally run a Dodge V-8 at New Egypt, and maybe East Windsor, in the late 90s, early 2000s? 

In my opinion, the Chevy small block became the dominant motor in the early 60s while its big (block) brother became the BMOC (big motor on campus) a few years later. 

Its not modifieds but wasn't Ray Tilley a hot ticket in Bud Grimm's PA "Bug" (today's PA posse) back in the 60s? 

While on sprint cars, wasn't the Scats Anfuso machine also powered by a Ford V8. 

I'm sure you 3Widers have a ton more of "non" Chevy hot rods, but that's all I can come up with at this point.  Scott Ely
