Not all those challenges are covered in the new bill. Engines powering the cars still have to meet emissions, which at the moment means using GM engines.

“The biggest limitation I see in the near-term, is the fact that there is only one class of engines available from General Motors that will be compliant with this law,” said Ward. “All of us in this community are hoping that Ford, Mopar and others will follow suit, developing crate- and emissions-certified engines to enhance our options.”

Could someone explain the differences.

Simple, they don't have a crate engine that's emissions certified 'out of the box'. That would include the engine, EFI, engine management system, etc., as a complete package. It's probably relatively simple to make it happen but, as to whether they want to spend the money for a relatively small volume, that's another question. Perhaps on the 'halo car' effect and the Ford 'brand' they'll make the investment.
