2020-02-27 - Fabricated Engine Swap Parts

Q.
as per Rule 4.5.3:
"Engine swaps include stock long block, stock exhaust manifolds, stock induction system, motor mounts, starter, ECU, wiring, and transmission adapters."

If one were to fabricate the engine mounts and transmission adapter as opposed to buying these items off the shelf, what would be the equivalent dollar value associated with each? Would it simply be the cost of the raw materials required?

A.
Yes, it would be the cost of the material. Swap cost has been increased to a $2500.00 allowance.
