Transplanting engines of the same year and as long as all emmission
controls are retained is legal under the state of California.  American
engines had the designs of the best engines in the world...however, all
that jazz caught up to them and so they figured that if the engines
lasted forever, NOBODY will buy another car again.
I compared the two cars to give everyone a fair perspective on these
car's potentials.  Most people are aware of how stock production cars
perform...and only a handful (so it seems) are aware of what I'm really
talking about.  I'm not saying that it's the FASTEST car out there...but
I would say that it indeed is the GREATEST...all around car!  It's fuel
efficient...it's fast, and by all means...it's a practical car to own!
For a car that performs like that...it'll cost a lot of money to
maintain.
