Well, that "Hemi" doesn't resemble anything that ever came down an assembly line, but neither do any of the other motors. I was just pointing out the absurdity that exits in calling this Eliminator "Pro STOCK."

There; not a part on ANY of those cars that ever came down a stock production assembly line.

There's not even a Pontiac assembly line in existence, any more...

So, where's the "STOCK"???

But this is nothing new; and has been going on for years. I will have to admit that even though those cars are not configured anything like I would like to see them, they do make for some VERY tight fields, generally, and for some close racing. A Mopar and a G.M.-powered car in the final at yesteday's Pomona race, and the MOV was about 8 feet... That's close for two different powerplants, I think.

They just need to change the name of the Eliminator from "Pro Stock" to "Expensive Crate Motor."
