I'm seriously thinking about moving to HS with a 2008 Mini Cooper or putting a 4.9 pushrod Caddy V8 in the Fiero and running SM2. I know HS would have more ...
Doesn't the engine swap have to be of the same make of the engine or car for SM? BTW: if you decide to get rid of the Fiero and part it out, I might want the...
The swap has to be an engine from the GM so I have a lot of them to choose from if I understood the rules. I take it that you didn't get your Fiero sold? Joel ...
It looks like I'll be keeping it to run for the next couple years. Paris wouldn't let me sell it, and she wants to run next year in it so I had to keep it. ......

Oh, I don't know then (I didn't read that far :p ). That seems to contradict itself from my reading. Clearly you need a second opinion as I have no clue -...
I've always interpreted it the way Jason does. My understanding was that I could put any Subaru Impreza engine into any other Impreza. The word "model" is...
Sort of responding to several posts here. The engine in a SM or SM2 car does not have to be the same configuration as the original block, so SM/SM2 is way...
I do understand that ANY Chevy motor would be legal in SM2, but the example used says that since an Eagle Talon came with either a Chrysler or Mitsubishi...
