I agree completely. I feel like car people should work at parts store so they have knowledge about car parts. Not what the screen says

So many are 'wharehousemen'. Parts pullers. Number readers. Vehicle knowledge is secondary.
Ford dealership partsmen are THE worst.

They asked me what engine I had so I said 383. They said that wasn't an option so I asked them what the options were. The guy said said 4.3, 5.0, and 5.7. I said it is a 350 with a stroker crank and rods and he said that isn't an option

Are all Pepboys gonna get the speed shop area or only a few?

It's part of a change for the company. The Tampa area was first the Boston market was second second and they are currently working on san Diego market. So I'm sure if this image change works they will convert the chain.

I can vouch for that, i work at pepboys. In fact we got rid of our speedshop and all of those old retired 401k dudes hate pepboys now. They are turning into warehouse parts now.
