Getting an S197 inspected and licensed with a carbed motor may not be possible in every state. Consult your local requirements before pulling out your wallet for a motor swap.

Why do we mod our cars on the outside then...?
To be different, yes.
Why not be different under the hood?

That's a very good advice HopUp...
Here in FL, we don't have to worry about this so I'm not used of thinking legal applications when altering cars.

I wonder if you could put that car in the exotic category or something of that nature in the inspection States...
