If anyone doesn't know, Don Garlets petitioned for one engine block per race to keep costs down. This way, you couldn't step on the engines as hard as they do now because you had to protect the block against catastrophic failure. If you did lose the block, you would watch the other racers for the day.
Bernstien got his way though and the rest is history, 6 or more engines in backup and huge amounts of money to run T/F and F/C.
