Default How to get a BAR legal swap

Planning on doing an H22 swap in my CL soon, just want to see how hard it is to get a BAR legal swap, and how they determine what BAR legal is. I have no idea what makes a swap legal and another illegal.

TIA.

is it harder to get certain engines BARd in certain cars?

in my case, i'm strongly considering an H22 swap in my 97 Acura CL.

so long as the engine is the same year or newer than the car it's in, then it shouldn't matter. you'll wanna use the obd2 vacuum diagram though, not hte obd1 that's in my thread.
