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!
