Now the economics of currently building one of these for stock and superstock, aren't that compelling, as a 45K entry point or so is just the beginning. 100K done would likely be reasonable.
Someone might do it, a wrecked car would be more $ reasonable. @ 413 HP I don't think it looks like a good package. I leave it up to those in the know on the delta between this motor and the Indy motors from last year in the Camaro, etc.
A original E-Body 70 like mine or Jerry in Texas would be a better use of $ to go run at the windmills of A-Stock and A-Stick. If you want to play, be prepared to pay.
Its a bonfire of the cash, of that all must agree, whether its a 69 big block camaro, a new Camaro, a new challenger, a new mustang, or even a old challenger or cuda......

If Mopar offered that 1320 Challenger engine in crate form...
...and if converting a 2008-2012 Challenger body was easy, to look like a 2019, then maybe that could create a more cost reasonable combo.
I am not familiar with how hard it would be to convert the bodies on those Challengers
