Why can't the factory look this clean?

Mike Murray just put his stock eliminator motor in his truck. Man it looks clean without the PDC and battery. Maybe it's because the truck is white. Interior is nicely done too, per class rules, all trim and seats must stay in place.

His bracket racing basically stock 360 ran 8.20's I think in the 1/8. That motor there is his tricked out stock eliminator motor- said it's almost 500 HP with the class-required stock bore and stroke (must be factory stroke, they allow up to 30 over on the bore). Everything has to be factory available (In our case, Mopar Performance) and be numbers matching to the truck's generation, and the heads may not be machined- must be out of the box stock. I/CM is a 7.85 and 12.10 index, 1/8 and 1/4 respectively, minimum weight 3800 pounds with full factory interior, body panels, and chassis in place (AKA no cutting the bed floor out or backhalving the chassis).
