Not the topic of discussion. However, an engine swap means you have to get a dyno reclass.
Now, go download the NASA TT rulebook and read it about 12 times. |

Also reference the TTE, TTD, and TTC discussion threads on this forum and the NASA TT forums. |

Guess I'm wrong then, I'll check those out.

I've read it, and I know that. I thought I read some threads where people have swapped engines and not taken a huge points increase, but have lost a bunch of points for swapping to the NB sub frames. Anyway, sorry for the OT...
Two different things...And neither one requiring the other... |
Pick up nb2

It looks like you've decided to part out your NA, take a break for a while and then plan on buying a NB2 next year. I hope it works out just as you have planned.
One thing I didn't see mentioned in all the pros/cons is emissions. If you plan on registering your car for the street, it is really nice to have an early NA because of no OBD-II. And depending on where you live, emissions inspections might be non-existent or at least easier to pass than later cars. Plus, older NA already are or soon will be eligible for "antique" status in many states. That often times comes with the added bonus of no emissions inspections at all. So you can modify to your heart's content. |

It's not a bad idea, but I'm going to take a break from track stuff for awhile.
I'm tired of the effort/money involved in a dedicated track car right now. The NA shell is about to be hauled off. |
