NASCAR Rules...The Engine

William Harris. "How NASCAR Works". December 12, 2007
http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/nascar-racing.htm (February 19, 2008)

Teams can't use just any old engine.
The engine in a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race car must conform to very specific parameters.
It must have eight cylinders, a compression ratio of 12:1,
a displacement no greater than 358 cubic inches
and a performance package that allows for greater engine torque without sacrificing durability.
All NASCAR race cars also use a carburetor, not a fuel injector,
to deliver the fuel-air mixture to the engine.
This is the starting point for each team,
which then tweaks and tunes the engine to its liking.
As a result, horsepower can vary,
although most engines produce about 750 to 790 horsepower.
