Engine Specs

I am hoping that somebody can help with this. I am trying to find out the engine specs for the Cup cars, Nationwide cars and Trucks. My understanding is that the engines for Cup cars are a V8 that run about 800hp normally and about 400hp with restrictor plates. Is this considered a big block and might be say a 5.9L V8. I believe that they recently changed the Nationwide engines. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
