An excellent suggestion!
What should this category engine be? A Ford Alluminator 5.2 or a Chevrolet LS3 6.2? Or perhaps keep it neutral by using Kelly Grove Racing 5.0 Nissan VK engines?
Do V8 Supercars have enough budget to cast their own manufacturer agnostic block? Or should they go to an independent engine like the aforementioned Judd, Gibson etc perhaps branded as the "Repco V8"?
Hmm, the KR V8 with the stock heads (as opposed to the blanks) seems like the way to go IMO. It's a proven reliable motor and it's brand agnostic between Ford and Chevrolet. It could run as the original 5.6 capacity, with higher compression pistons (say 12:1 or 13:1), perhaps? Or even keep it at 5000cc for the purposes of tradition?

Stuffed full of all the good gear with a Bryant billet crank, Forged connecting rods, JE 13:1 pistons and CNC ported heads. It also features a custom made timing chain system to eliminate the variable valve timing which can cause problems at high RPM. The inlet manifold is a Kelly Racing V8 Supercar piece and the headers are custom made with correct length primaries into a straight through system that is frighteningly loud.
