Maybe someone knows another brand of sealed motor to be out there.
In general chevy was more widely distributed in stock and SS and might be a better switch for the cars currently available to use.
Thanks
Div your alternative?

Dick, like Randy, the key would be having a Spec cylinder head for every brand/make of car and no crate/sealed engine.. There are offerings from Brodix and a few other companies for cylinder heads. Keeping it to an inline cylinder head will also keep the competition even in the class.
Using a flat top piston will put limitations on having custom domes and will also keep costs down in the same fashion as having a steel connecting rod in lieu of Aluminum rods.
The non-use of external oil pumps, crank trigger systems, timing belts and vacuum pumps will also save a lot of money in the class.
Since there are adapters and bellhousing's to use a PG on every engine out there and not allowing the use of a clutchless trans or a multiple disk clutch will keep the competition even too.
I believe this would make the class more even an competitive among engine builders and drivers. Also, with the current technology, a well built 360 CID engine in the class should have the ability to make 600 ~ 635 HP with a 750 CFM carb.
