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.)
