yaya:
Can we all send Joe a big collective email and tell him that his crate motor rantings are no longer news worthy and boring us all to death?

While it's a big issue in the print media now, hopefully he's got it out of his system by now, as he's been going on and on about it for months. I can see some of his points, but to go back to 100% built engines would be as stupid as moving forward to 100% crate engines. Keep the two packages as equal as possible, and keep on top of teching the crates and things should be fine.

The only thing about a crate that everyone can agree on is the cost.I think crates vs built is very simple. Tech the crates the same way as built(yes i mean you might have to open them up at the track) Do we really need sealed GM bolts or the Barrie bolts?Will the General have any bolts left in 2 or 3 years anyway? Now that being said(agree or not)why not argue this.Call the crate motor a spec. motor and have new built motors require spec. parts IE:built motors that use vortech heads must use this cam these springs this crank......ect....ect.Now some people might call that new built motor a spec. motor! OOPS now i guess we will have to argue spec vs spec.Now a new argument who can build them cheaper and more reliable ? THE GENERAL? OR YOUR LOCAL ENGINE BUILDER?
