Ed, The rule book I have reads page 37 4.N Engine swap   Examples: A 
Chevrolet 350 engine in a 1955 Chevrolet is not a swap, but a Chevrolet 
396 in a 1955 Chevrolet is. So how can you put a big block in a car that 
never had a big block from the factory?   Doug Odom in big ditch and 
more confused than normal.
