"Ford Racing is Back to Supporting Pro Stock
What you see below isn’t the actual Pro Stock body; it is a mock up of what the 2010 Mustang Pro Stock body looks like. This mock up was built on a Harry Glass body modified by Jerry Hass to add the 2010 lighting. But the reality is, Ford is in the midst of wind tunnel testing for their Pro Stock bodies. The idea is to increase the “slickness” of the bodies through extensive wind tunnel testing. Jim Cunningham and Erica Enders will be the first team to get a body when they are released and it is rumored that Billy Glidden has been inquiring on what it takes to get one of these bodies on his GTO Pro Stock chassis.
For the engine side of things, Ford will be developing a CGI based 500 cubic inch block with a Hemi/Wedge style head. We don’t have any pictures yet because there aren’t any public pieces yet. The bodies will come first and we want to get across that Ford is not sponsoring anyone, merely creating the parts for sale."

While I have my doubts about the success of a Cunningham team (always been a 3rd tier team at best), it's nice to see Ford at least some effort in Pro-Stock
