Just curious, what do you guys do about the engine computer on these engine
swaps?   I think I'd rather go with something more of the vintage of the
roadster, say a L20. Parts are still available and the engine( I have a
sentra ser with the sr20) won't be so over powered for the brakes,
suspension , etc of a 30 year old car. I guess if all of the chassis
components are perfect ( very few of mine are) it would be safe enough.  I'd
want power brakes at least, to stop the beast. Just my opinion....
