Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NASCAR question [obviously NFC]

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

The engines are manufacturer specific.  However,
they no longer resemble anything in a production
car.  Example:  I saw a supposed "small block
Chevy" NASCAR motor.  The cylinder head did
not resemble in any way anything in either the
old small block nor the new LS1 series motors.
It was sort of a cross between a big block head
and the LS1 head, without the adjoining ports
of the old small block.  Another example is the
Toyota engine - it's completely NASCAR specific
with no resemblance to anything else Toyota.
