Not bein gfrom CA... I'mnot familiar w/ thsi issue. Is it not legal to change the motor? Or, do you just have to have all teh matching equip for the donor vehicle?


Here in Ca you have to swap everything over from the donor rig, i.e all of the smog equipment/exhaust, sensors, ecu, etc. must be swapped over, then it must be inspected/certified by a C.A.R.B. referee before any smog shop can test it.

Here is another fun <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> bit of info for those here in CA, according to my smog tech as of Nov. 1st of this year all pre-OBII vehicles will now also have to have a fuel tank pressurization/leak test. The test will be pumping the system full of hydrogen (IIRC) and see if you have a leak, if it leaks you fail the smog test. From what I understand it is to test the charcoal canister and return fuel lines.


More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
