The 426 is an Arrow Racing Engine and has been tested by Barton, and Kevin Helms has been down the track in both cars. 426 about 900 HP. Drive train is way off for the hard racer not even considering the motor at 10 degrees timing as tested. Hard racers will have first availability on both cars. I am working on a package we will call the Hard Racer Package with drive line changes; trans gearing, converter, shifter, rear axle ratio etc which I will try to have it put in the cars I order for myself and customers who go thru me. Not sure if I can get it done. Kinda need numbers. Right now I have 5 coming. The second 354 motor is an Arrow Racing motor which can be used, but can't be ordered in the car. It is all aluminum and really different specs. Both have 2.9 Whipples. Mopar as one converted to a 2015 model. More as it happens. Want one. Let me know. Mopar wants names and history for the racers, but will take my word for it. Blueprint specs on NHRA Racer.

I see them in the Engine specs, but just the 400 and the 426 in the stock car classification guide as of yet......

Sounds like a lot of fun for those that have the resources and time to devote. If mopar really wants to dominate, then reward the "hard racer" original dragpak owners with a 50% discount. Lord knows it will take likely at least that to sort out the cars, especially if the cages have to be reworked, chassis beefed up, shocks changed, etc etc etc.
