Re Engines: The bill speaks of a "certificate of conformity" issued by the Administrator, but doesn't specifically say who that administrator is.

It also requires some very specific information from the engine manufacturer, a requirement that the builder install according to those instructions and a REQUIREMENT that the engine manufacture provide warranty support (not the builder).

This is old memory cells, but my recollection GM did apply for such with the LS3, but I also remember seeing articles that the whole bill had dragged on for so long that they had let the certificate expire (it seems from the wording you'd need a new one for each year that the engine is used.)

Ford, having no customer, and given the warranty requirement, chose not to apply during the time before the bill was approved (a good move since it took years). Will they submit Coyote? I'd wager yes, provided they have ENOUGH CUSTOMERS!!! So this would involve someone saying "I'll buy "n" engines from you if you get the required paperwork and make the appropriate engine manufacturer commitments".

This whole thing wreaks of "I could have a ham sandwich, if I had some ham, if I had some bread".

Time will tell...
