Default NASCAR Engines

Wondering if anyone uses used or last years, old Nascar engines in their Cobras, as some guys downunder get them and use them for Transam style racing, one of those guys suggested I get one, crack test the components, fit a hydraulic rollercam, alter compression for the street, and then I would have a decent block etc, due to the suggested fact that windsors blocks dont like hard use with in excess of 500bhp?

Having said that if the Nascar engines porting etc is for big rpms, it may be totally impractical for my application!

Sorry to hear about the fatalities in the Cobra accident, life is very precious!
