[QUOTE=Hemiparts; I looked @ the rules and I look @ the Mopars running in crate motor classes and i can asure you nothing I have setting in my parts dept that Chrysler calls a crate motor wil run like these motors you see at the track ?????[/QUOTE]

Thats because they have to be "Cheated up" I mean Blueprinted like the NHRA stocker motors to be fast.

I would build an 89-93 coupe if I was building a new stocker or efi super stocker. The coupe make s a nice package altogether.
Other than that, I'd put an FE engine in '05 up model to run SS.
