When I broke the crank last summer, I changed the shortblock to a 408 stroker (kept the SS legal heads, fuel injection, etc.) and just bracket race it.

You may have hit on the answer for some racers. You're still getting plenty of seat time, probably having more fun and even have a shot at winning more money.
