Crate Engines in NHRA?

When I said parts aren't easy to find for old combos, I meant it. The population of all 3 maritime provinces of canada (where i live) doesen't equal that of most single US cities. Therefore there never were as many castings and far fewer now. So if i find a set somewhere else and them have them shipped to me, At 50 or more pounds each, all of a sudden those old castings aren't cheap. Buying something new over the counter makes a difference. And good luck finding crack free 624 heads around here too. And no, moving isn't an option just to find castings or race. Thats why i started to build a CM car, I asked a simple question and some of you got your panties all up in a knot as if I want to kill stock eliminator.
