I think it would be cool to see rules that only allow swaps for blocks from the same manufacturer: IE: Vipers can only have a mopar motor (8.4L v10, 6.4L V8 SRT, 6.4L Ram V8 ect), FR-S can only have the FA-20, 2JZ ect, the BRZ can have the FA20, EJ25 ect. I really want to see a 11+:1 CR e85 Turbo BRZ for formula D revving out to 9000rpm. You would only need 3rd gear and would have all of the torque you need.

The Formula Drift Manufacturers Championship rules state the motor must come from that manufacturer. This car even though it is sponsored by Subaru, does not qualify, while Ryan Tuerck and Ken Gushi's 2JZ FR-S's do.
