How much of a difference from what started out as Crate Motor Stock are the new factory cars and the variety of engines they are allowed to run.

Look at the CJ's with the 352 or the 428, the COPOs with the 350 or 427. Mopars with the variety of engines the factory offers for them.

If you take delivery of a COPO with a 427 then decide you want to order a new 350 supercharged engine for from GM, and you take it to Barton's and have it built and blueprinted and put it in your car. What exactly is not "Crate Motor" about that?

how is that really that much different than ordering a 502 or 385 Fastburn from GM performance, re-building and blueprinting it and slipping it into your 69 Camaro.

No disrespect for anyone who runs these. Cars. It is simply comparing Fiji to Red Delicious to Gala to Honey Crisp Apples. They are all still apples.
