The existing engine rules for Silver Crown will be adopted. The current rules allow a 358 cu inch aluminum head engine manufactured by CHEVROLET, FORD, MOPAR, and TOYOTA. These engines currently produce power in excess of 800 hp and are similar in specification to current Nationwide and Craftsman truck series engines.
The Silver Crown engine rules have been updated to allow the newer cylinder heads and engine blocks from CHEVROLET, FORD, and MOPAR, making the lower cost pre-owned components from the 2007 NASCAR Sprint Cup engines useable for these cars. For this to work, the rules must remain at a minimum one-year behind the current rules being utilized in NASCAR to provide a used distribution network for the current NASCAR teams. As it is anticipated that NASCAR will freeze their rules for at least the next five years this also provides great stability for Gold Crown.
