Engine swap Dan (10/28/2004 5:36:59 PM) Why? Why not just find a 740 with a gas engine and buy that. The cost to do an engine swap will be far more than the car is worth. There may be emmission issues that will make the car unable to be registared.

Since the engine used was a Service Replacement Block engine with no VIN we only need what was on the car in the first place, i.e. no AIR, EGR or cat. A loophole to be sure. It has GM TBI and is driveable and economical, if not like the diesel. We are extremely happy with the car.
