The Toyota Silver Crown motor is based on the motor from the Camping World Truck Series.
A couple of issues that might arise from running 410 motors in Silver Crown cars are straightaway speed and reliability.
An interesting fact: One of the options to "save" the Silver Crown series before the new car option was on the table, was to change the Sprint Car motor rules to Silver Crown motor rules, so owners could run the same motor in both divisions.
