The engine was developed by TRD in USA based on the current Chevy unit use in the Sprint Cup. It's not the same engine that is in Nationwide or Truck series cars. Apparently some minor differences between engines in each series. If you can find it, there was a interesting documentary show done on Micheal Waltrip through 2006 and start of 2007, which gave you an insight into him starting up his Toyota team. They spend a bit of time at TRD showing the engine and development process.

More like Ford and Holden switch to NASCAR engines. Jason Bright came out earlier in the year and said that it would be more cost effective for them to switch, as the NASCAR engines, run to VESA spec's wouldn't be as highly strung as the current 5 litre blocks. For once Not-so has a good point and idea. It would then open the door for TRD to come in.
