ANYTIME you swap ANY motor than is not the OEM engine for that particular year, it needs to be ref-approved. Even KA-E to KA-DE swaps need BAR-approval to be legal.
Also, you can't swap any motor into any car... The engine has to come out of a car that is the same year or newer.
Get your facts straight before spreading false information, please.
