About halfway into a resto 914 with a subie swap project I am doing. Might decide to autocross it occasionally if allowed by class rules. Anyone know what class I would be in? The SCCA region here in Phoenix appears to not allow manufacturer engine swaps in all of their classes but I may be wrong.

Yep it does appear NASA has engine swap allowance in their rules. Thank you for the suggestion. |

SCCA definitely A or E Modified, or maybe X Prepared (read the regs on that one)

Modified for sure. You may be the only one in your class so you get a trophy!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Or a real modified car like a Lotus Elan with a 200 h.P. rotary will show up and blow you in the weeds. |

I'm against an 1800lb Yamaha V6 turbocharged 'thing' with about 350hp. Plus a couple of high hp Lotus kit cars. TTD cars.. Mine will be 2500# and 500hp but they have tons of experience and big weight advantage. BUT,, at least I'll be able to run. |

NASA all the way, lets you run what you brung, and be classed in a way that you can run a tight race.
When I was running my car, I was up against a supercharged Miata, a V8 mustang, and a few other oddities that should up. Good tight racing, though the Miata was hard to beat, it made me better. Also made the Mustang guy purchase a Miata as he was tired of getting his butt handed to him. LOL I was running a type-4 short stroke 914 1.8L with slip in jugs. And was having a great time, with the EG33 swap I had planed or even the 2.7L 911 engine going into Dad's car, I will run NASA, great competitive club in my area made of National level racers. The PCA guys are slow around here in comparison. |
