the first is from the SiR 1, the OBD 0 88-91 SiR engine. The second is an SiR 2 engine, which is typically OBD 1 and comes with higher compression pistons and I believe more aggressive cams. If you know how to convert OBD levels, there is no problem, but the second is basically a newer, faster engine.

 

thanks....im obd1, i do know how to convert an obd0 to a 1..isnt it just the dis. and injectors?

 

you cant legally put an older engine on a newer chassis.

 

why does the block matter? im gonna be getting a newer head.

 

i dunno, you cant sell pie in wisconsin without american cheese, and you cant legally be drunk in st louis while napping on a curb or some ridiculous thing like tha, all i know is its illegal.

 

It's one of the thousands upon thousands of federal BS laws. You can't put an engine older then a car into that car, supposedly for emmissions related reasons, but I personally think it is just to keep people from building fast cars. Many of the things we do to our cars are illegal anyway, and most inspection stations are not going to check on the casting date of your block (unless you live in Kalifornia ) I don't know how things are in Miami, but nowhere I know of in the state of Florida gives a flying f*** about what you do to your car.
