We already have factory stock and top stock, so I personally see no need for another factory chassis, small tire class. I liked the ideas Allen mentioned, which were take the current cars, reskin them and drop in the new motors. That is by far the most cost efficient to totally revamp the class.
A six second car that LOOKS like something on the showroom floor and even has the same motor......That's how pro stock started, factory type cars on steroids
Doing that would be easy for the guys already running but I think it would just turn into modern motor pro mod. Plus if you look at Rob Goss's X275 Challenger he's running 6's already but on radials and no wheelie bars, 414 inch 3rd gen.
They should try to mimic that - keep the stock body, lights, dash, door panels and factory block + heads and cap them at 400 cubes (not sure how to implement the DOHC Ford though)
