Nascar question
I am not a Nascar buff, but was wondering what engines Ford/Chevy/Pontiac/Dodge use in Nascar. I would guess 351W/350/360. Am I right?

I know Chevy uses a 355(350) and Fords is a 351 but i don't know what Dodge uses, Perhaps a 340 bored to around a 350 to make it somewhat even.

What engine goes in Ford, Chevy, Pontiac, and Dodge NASCAR cars? None that goes in the stock car!
(Even being a Ford guy I'd love to see pontiac offer a 350 powered rear wheel drive car.)

actually they're allowed up to 366cu in, the ford is i believe based off of cleveland design, and the dodge motor is based on the 360 but is a new computer designed motor.(and its supposed to be the heaviest to.

The GTO will be coming soon if that helps your Poncho craving. Chryslers new Crossfire I think will have the 350 Hemi in it.
