The small block Chevy was WAY more developed than the SBF
since it was introduced a lot earlier (1955) than the
SBF (1962?). That carried over in the 1960s and 1970s
since Chevy muscle cars outsold Ford 2 or 3 to one.
So the aftermarket manufacturers did the logical thing
and spent most of their development money on the Chevy.

It was only after Ford introduced the 5 liter EFI Mustang
in 1986 that the manufacturers poured money into developing
go fast parts for the 5.0. And the rest is history.

Now go fast Windsor parts are cheap, available,
and make as much or more power than any Chevy small block.
And late model Mustangs ended up way outselling the Camaro/
Trans AMs, prompting GM to drop them from their line.
Funny how things work out sometime.
