Here are the real reasons:
1. Cost efficiency
2. Saving time for modifications and tune-up
Any additions and your opinions?
I take example Honda/Acura NSX GT3 engines are using Honda J35 3.5-litre V6TT engines but Acura only for rebadging (not build from scratch) and also Chevrolet Corvette C8.R GTLM/GTE Pro engines are using General Motors LT6 flat-plane crank 5.5-litre V8 NA engines.
