It depends on the sheet metal that is on the car. If the car is an Impala for example it has a Chevrolet based engine. It is the same for the other three makes as well.

Each manufacturer has an approved engine it is allowed to build, and teams must build them to fit the guidelines (Chevy actually has 2 approved engines this year, as they are phasing in the R07 starting next week at Texas. All JGR cars, Kyle Busch, Scott Wimmer and Casey Mears will be running it, with the rest of the teams using the old engine). Most teams build their own engines. Some exceptions are: Ginn Racing (uses Hendrick), Haas/CNC (uses Hendrick), Wood Bros (uses Roush/Yates),and Petty Enterprises (uses Evernham).
Cup Engine Builders:
Richard Childress Racing (07, 29, 31) [Chevy]
Evernham Motorsports (9, 10, 19, 43, 45, 49) [Dodge]
Hendrick Motorsports (01, 5, 13, 14, 24, 25, 48, 66, 70) [Chevy]
Joe Gibbs Racing (11, 18, 20, 96) [Chevy]
Penske-Jasper (2, 12) [Chevy]
Roush/Yates (6, 7, 16, 17, 21, 26, 38, 88, 99) [Ford[
TRD (Toyota Racing Development) (00, 22, 36, 44, 55, 83, 84) [Toyota]
DEI (1, 8, 15) [Chevy]
Ron Puryear (4) [Chevy]
Ernie Elliott (37, 40, 41, 42) [Dodge]
Dave Capriotti (78) [Chevy]

The kind of Motors that the Nascar rules mandate are american made V8's with a maximum cubic inch of 358 cubic inch.
A Chevy Impala or Chevy Monte Carlo has a Chevy Engine. A Dodge Charger or a Dodge Avenger has a Dodge engine. A Ford Fusion has a Ford engine.
A Toyota Camry.....has a Toyota engine.
In other words, what ever brand name body it has on it.....that's what type of engine it has in it.

There are no hemis in NASCAR.
The basic engine is a 358CI 700 to 800 HP V8.Some teams build their own others buy them from independent engine builders or the larger teams.
That's all I have to say about that.

they are custom made. There's a few parts in engines that are usually ford parts or chevy parts, but for the most part, it varies by the team. Every team builds their engines separate from others. The choose where to get each part. Most parts have to be according to specifications by NASCAR and they build their engines.

Actually the NASCAR motors from what I heard are custom made by the individual teams (larger richer teams) or bought by special manufacturers with the car manufacturers assisting.

Evernham Engines, Arrington Engines, Mike Ege, and Yates are some of the names of NASCAR engine builders. Each team can pick any builder they want.

Engines in Cup cars are based on production engines from their respective manufacturers. Of course, every component is highly modified by their builders, & all Cup engines are built to 358 CI.
