Crate motor stock

Has NHRA ever toyed with the idea?Do racers take well to it?I just figured that with the improvement in performance of the late model injected cars and the already fast older muscle cars the smog year cars might be intersted in a little way to step up the pace.Limit the swaps to same engine faimily for body used{i.e. only smallblocks in 3rd gen f bodies and G bodies ect.} with a handful of nhra selected OEM built crate motors from each of the manufacturers.Engines could be prepared to otherwise stocker legal status.I was wondering if there is a reason why NHRA never tried it.
