I think the crate motors were a great idea that got out of hand. I think some form of a spec stock would be something to consider. Pick a oft used body style of each manufacturer (82-92 camaro, fox body, and volare for simplicity. Have sealed crate motors, a list of part number converters, spec trans, spec shocks and tires, limit to off the shelf part number heads, etc. this is not stock as it exists today, but it should put the tuner/driver back into the equation, and the checkbook somewhat out of the equation.
