Given how little manufacturer involvement there is now, the rules around who can run what, should be something that the teams and Supercars themselves should decide.

If the catagory (teams and management) wants to allow a new Ford shape onto the grid, then they go ahead and pick a model, homologate it to the ruleset, and move forward. If they remain steadfast on the existing rules, the sport is just going to fall apart.
If a manufacturer or a team were to say to Supercars that they want to run an entirely different motor and an auto gearbox what is going to be the reaction, how are they going to control parity with for instance a 4 or 5 cylinder turbo motor in front of an auto box. It won't happen and there is the reason there is no new interest in the series. The manic desire to have parity limits the entry possibilities as it kills all the popular motor options.
