2zzge swap? Options

[CheesyLobster]

After discovering metal shavings in my oil pan, I am afraid my 7afe is on its last legs. Of course, I’d love to do a 3sgte swap, but living in California makes that legally impossible if I want to keep things street legal. So I started researching and apparently some people have swapped 2zzges from the 7th gen gts into 6th gen celiacs, and by CA law, it seems this would basically be completely legal.
I was wondering if anyone here has done this and what might be involved… Since there is little to no info, and assuming I could get a donor gts, I’d need:
- custom mounts
- some custom wiring work
But otherwise would this mostly be plug and play?
Any resources appreciated as well.

And I’m glad to see the site back up! Even if it’s a bit more quiet then it was in 2006… lol

Well you'd need the C60 from the donor car to be cali legal.
You'd have to keep the stock manifold and cat.
ECU could be under the hood like it is on the 7th gen, it's fine there and beneficial to have shorter wiring runs for better latency at high RPM.
