How is putting a different engine in a stocker going to be cheaper? Where can you buy a 2500$ engine that can run stock? Explain to me the savings? Do you think a stock ZZ4 or a stock 5.3 LS out of a pickup truck in the salvage yard will run the index in any car? Do you think it will be competitive in a heads up? Will it qualify for Indy? Unfortunately our class isn't what it was in the 60's and 70's. There are 40 and 50 K engines in stockers now that run A through E. You had some expensive rides back in the day. You should be able to relate
