i hear guys in Australia use them in stock cars with carbs. pushing like 400hp @10'000 rpms

Rules and concept of the series would have us end up aith a 10 or 20 lap penalty - not competitive. Right now however i am considering a Chevy ZZ4 with 355 hp. have the motor just sitting there after an unfortunate rollover in our corvette road race car.

I don't see anything wrong with a domestic swap in a case like this. I must confess that I don't understand why a 1UZ would net you a larger penalty then a higher displacement domestic V8.

I say fucking do it! I have a 302 in my 89 rx7 fc. Attached to a t5, I love it. Mines fuel injected however but the power is awesome, and fuel economy isn't bad at all

well it's the franken - wierdness factor" If you "stretch " the 500 buck rule, if you do it in a way that is creative and wierd and unusual, they tend to encourage that, just for the "I didn't know that was possible" effect. These guys really like wierd, we have a miata running with a 2 stroke motor, a geo Metro running Honda 1000 motors including chain drive and sequential tranny, , diesel whatevers, rx7's with SBC, a mr2rear end hooked to a corrolla front end - with both engines running, all sortsd of weird stuff. So just bolting in a motor from the same company , thats just out and out boring, and probably cheating, but put a 5 cylinder benz diesel motor into a honda civic with 4 wd- thats smiled upon!

Love the dual engine Corolla-2! I was going to suggest a 3S-GTE swap with a baby eating turbo... or perhaps 4 tiny turbos out of older Audis or Volvos.
