Not so.The early DPs were delivered to you with a (I believe) caravan axle in place of the rear,a trans that was a core sent back to Chrysler with no innards,no driveshaft.
Now my little gremlin was driven home from the dealership and toiled on the streets of NYC for 125,000 miles.Not that's showroom available to the public.
NHRA doesn't need crate motors,they can (well used to before our present conditions,both economic and internal,as in NHRA buffoonery).IHRA added them for survival of the org.

I believe I said engines not transmissions or rearends. There is nothing done to these cars at the factory that you couldn't do to a regular show room model for stock class. It's all about the factor. What about all the body in white cars? They aren't strret legal or generally available to everyone.
