class help

So I'm looking at a S2000 as a replacement to the Volvo. Easy, right? No, because it has an LS-1 in it. What class? SM?

SM requires engine swaps from the same manufacturer. I think you are looking at XP and you might have Robert Thorne begging for a co-drive (or running circles around you in his own build)!!

XP.

IMO, interesting swap. Could be a competitive car on the right tires and suspension.

The one at Nationals would have won XP but every run was dirty. Even so, he still trophied with a cone on every run!

YES! GM (LSX) can be squeezed into any car maker on the planet. Still waiting for the LS conversion in a Smartcar. :)

On a side note: there has been discussion on out-of-manufacturer motors in cars to be allowed in SM.
