If they spent 20k on a wet sump 23 degree iron head street stock motor I hope jack Cornett built itI ran a 406 in my emod that put out 630 HP on alky. So I changed to the same Dart heads but steel and have to run the 3310 carb on gas. Never dyno'd it but I would assume 575-600 with gas and the 3310? But I can tell you I am definitely not out motoring guys on the straights and to be honest that surprised me a little at first.
I know for my Dad's race some guys told me they had close to $20K in their motors.

Agreed .... Someone was talking out of their ass. They aren't allowed to run shaft rockers , titanium valves and other such items that would run the price up ...if someone has $20,000 in a stock engine they are an a$$ hole!

And let me guess they had some complete no name build it too ....Jon- I've been asked to tell you that a pure stock driver who wishes to remain nameless does has $30,000 in his motor and yes he has shaft mount rockers, titanium valves, custom grind cam, light weight forged bottom end. . . Etc.
Not that I'd spend that, but it is a reality for some of the big money pure stock teams!

There is nothing "pure" or "stock" about a 30k motor. Well, maybe pure insanity to invest that much money to run for peanuts.

If they have that much in a stock motor to run for the horrible purses stocks run for, why the heck wouldn't they pick up a used late model chassis and dump it in that and run for a lot more money?

Good point, but still 30k in stock car motor is absolutely ridiculous. And it shows an unbelievable lack of confidence in their driving abilities...

Geez... and we wonder why this division is dying. That seems like a bit much.
