I have the utmost respect for what JR has done in the automotive world but you can pretty well bet that JR touches few, if any, engines these days.
Try and buy a NASCAR spec engine from Roush Racing - It's not on their website and while you "could" most likely buy one from them, the odds of you getting the same caliber engine that goes into Mark Martin's race car are exceptionally slim.

It is my opinion that you are paying more money for the name than it is actually worth. Then too - you don't see me paying Finishline Racing $140k for a replica of an original Cobra either..

I would advise that anyone considering a "Crate" engine to talk to Max at Five-Star Ford or Mike Fortes about purchasing a Ford Racing Crate engine. At least they have the factory backing of Ford behind them.
