So, new EPA regulations no longer allow front clips to be imported. It's engine sets only from here on out. Make sure you get everything you need for the swap when you get one

Which means I can still ship over an MR2 3sgte REAR clip! pwn3d!!  If this really is the case, it isn't a huge deal. It will however force people to shop smarter when looking for an engine set and make sure that they have everything they might need for the swap before buying. I bought my 3rd gen as an engine set, and before I bought it I made sure it had EVERYTHING. Sure enough, it had every last part that I needed and then some. I even had the VIN plate, airbox resonator and piping, front axles, and so forth. My word of advice to future swappers - take your time, buy smart, and plan for the worst case scenario ahead of time.
