Damon in STL Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The existing rule reads..... For all GTS cars, the engine and the chassis must be of the same marque (e.g. a Porsche may use any Porsche badged engine). For the purposes of these rules, the engine is defined as the block. Swapping engines between different chassis made by the same manufacturer is allowed, but swapping engines of a marque different than the chassis manufacturer is specifically not allowed. Let's say I found an awsome deal on an Audi boat engine and had an old Audi chassis sitting in the barn. Would I be within the rules to use these two components together? I'm not saying it would be a winning combination....hmm.....er....maybe in the wet......no...never mind. But, would it be legal?

JSG1901 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Assuming it's the same Audi, I would think that would be legal, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstreit911 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 LOL, there is always someone putting the rules to the test. I'm not sure we considered installing non automotive engines into the car when we wrote it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting the the BMW airplane engine in the Isetta..... .....are there any rules on a safety guard for the prop? Damon in STL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
