Default Any Hybrid Swaps?

I was wondering if there is going to be a hybrid swap section for the ti's
as I am going to swap an LC2 (87 Grand National) in my auto ti.
I see that another member has a ti with a lsx swap, I think others mite have done other swaps too?

I don't see the need for a completely separate section since there isn't very many non-bmw swaps running around. Bluebimma is doing an LS1 swap and there was one other member a long time ago, but I think that guy wrapped his around a pole or something. There's a local guy here that swapped a 5L mustang motor in his ti: http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24620

and then of course there's this:

The first thing that comes to mind is the practical,,,
The 87 motor in a 90's car is federally illegal, it
will be a emissions orphan. OK if your eyes wide open about it...

If you can pull the whole Cyclone power package off it should rock.

The car is registered in a non emissions county so that will fix that problem
I also will make the swap reverseable so if they make all countys here mandatory then i will do a bmw swap later on. My start date for this swap will be in late april, Thanks for the interest!!
