A true NASCAR engine would be one sitting in a vintage race car driven by David Pearson, as prepared for racing, with all the components that were put on the track. There are some of them around, mostly in restored race cars like the ones found at "Racestorations". I would venture to say the motor alone. if authentic, would go for a LOT of money, probably half way into six figures.
Regarding the bare blocks, some were supposedly cast with higher phosporus content. As for the innards, they contained whatever Ford, Holman Moody, etc., thought was the best combination to put a smile on Henry's face. The variations are endless. Therefore if the guy has a cough, cough, "NASCAR" motor, it shouldn't take long to find out if he's referring to the last article he read in Road & Track, or if he has a long list of specifics. My guess is he's using the term very loosely.
