STREET MODIFIED
<DIR>- Per the SMAC, the following rule change proposal is being submitted for member comment:
<DIR>- Replace 16.1.D.1 with the following:
<DIR>"1. Engine blocks must be from production automobiles. Engines must meet minimum production quantities of 1,000 units built for street use, spanning all models of cars so equipped. Motorcycle, snowmobile, marine, or other engines of non-automobile design are not permitted. This allows engine blocks manufactured as production units for sale in other countries such as Japan or Germany."
</DIR></DIR>The intent of this proposal is to allow cross-make engine swaps into Street Modified vehicles, using engines produced in sufficient quantities that replacement parts are readily available. Subframe restrictions are not expanded from the existing rules. (ref. #3313)
</DIR>- In addition to those items reflected elsewhere herein, the following member items regarding Street Modified category matters have been reviewed by the SMAC and SEB: #1702, 3048. The SEB and SMAC thank these members for their input.
I like the idea A LOT but I wonder what this will do for XP? Of course I'd also like to see SM open up front subframes and allow complete replacements so long as the subframe is able to be bolted in (no unibody cutting). Discuss!
