I agree not happening pulling a rod and piston with limited time just not practical.
As a alternative to keep people honest why not do some simple checks.

1) Pump the motor to check cubic inches. Had this done when I ran modified many times.

2) Use a inspection camera and check piston for dish, flat top or dome to match spec.

3) Quick look at the carb or throttle body.

4) Check valve lift on stockers.

This would take about a hour or so and easy.
Far from perfect but better than what we have now which is nothing.
I would think any funny business would not be the top qualifiers but further down the qualifying sheet. Joe racer hurts his 327 and has a 383 short block sitting there from the bracket car and thinks why not just to finish the year. Nobody checks anyway.
Do a few cars at every div. race.
May help maintain the integrity of the classes.
