A nascar small block is not a stressed member of the frame in the race car. Not only does it have to deliver power but it has to hold the car together and be as light as possible. That's why they're expensive, it's no just a powerplant. Aside from engine power numbers, there is not a single comparable performance stat between a stock car and an F1 car.
