Thanks for all the comments. A lot of homework has gone into the development of this drivetrain and I expect it to work well. Now if I can drive it, I won't wreck it soon after my grubby hands get ahold of it! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />



It's got Oregon plates. However, the engine/tranny plan was run by the referee prior to selection to ensure smog compliance in CA in the event I win the lotto and can someday afford to buy a house in SoCal or Central coast. All the referee is going to do is verify that the year of the drivetrain is newer than the truck. He'll then pull his visual inspection checklist and start going over the emissions equipment to be sure it's all there (and I assure you it is). Finally, he'll plug in the dandy little electronic scanner to ensure the trans is the same one that came with the engine. After you get the stamp, you smog it, and when it passes, you're GTG.

I told you I did my homework (actually, in this case, the method to the madness came from the guy who sells the engines). He physically went and talked to the ref when he was building my package and programmed the computer to run outside of the vehicle it was intended to run in, but with all the smog stuff in place. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
