Question???

Are all the engines that everyone is talking about offered as an option to order on these cars straight from the factory??

Some of them were offered in the real cars by the factories, others not. The 352/428 Fords were not in the factory built CJs, same with the 281 3V motor like Charlie Downing's car. I think the 302 that is legal for 2010 was not in any factory produced CJs in 2010, but it is for 2012. I believe all of the Drag Pak motors came in the factory produced cars (except for maybe the 6.4L, not sure), even if it was only for 1 car like Mr. Jeff's 5.9.

I know of two that were built.

Yes the 6.4 does come in production cars. The SRT Charger,Challenger, and 300 all come with the 6.4 392 hemi!

If you can race one of the Factory Race Cars will anyone try to get the 68 Hemi or the L88 vettes approved for stock? If so what et's would they run.

I believe the '68 Hemi and '69 AMX are S/S-only, per the Classification Guide (unless they changed something).

I guess someone could build a '64 or '65 Hemi car for AAA and AA Stock though.

I surly will. Tomorrow when I get to the dealership I will take a pic of each.

The '65 Race Hemi is only rated at 450 in Stock Eliminator as of 1/1/12. THAT would be a cool combo!

Natural CC car that could run BB - A. Hmmm.....

Any chance you can post a picture of one in a 300 or street challenger and one in a drag pack?
