B-series swap

With our cars everyone is doin the k series swap, but does anyone know if anyone has done a b-series swap, and is it even possible to do. Im sure it is.Im just wondering cause yea the k-series is fast and all but so is a b-18 or even b-16. and its alot cheaper.

Only 1 member on this board has done a B series swap. He's using it as a track car for Salt flats. Everything was done custom, so in the end, it wasn't cheaper than a K series. His car isn't street legal as well.

Someone on this site said that it is illegal to have an engine that is older than the car.

It usually is, depending on where you live and the law.


this thread will help you out. A simple search would have yielded it, but alas, no one ever searches.

illegal to pass inspection
illegal to drive on the street
illegal to ask about
illegal to consider
illegal to continue thinking about it

its only legal if your car is going to be used off the streets.
Most shops won't even touch your car because they know its illegal.
