So my mechanics says that its iligal to put a differant engien in a car. this makes me very confused. i can under stand if it was a racing engine and not a street legal one, but why would he say that its iligal for anyone to do it. also he said that i could do it myself and probilby get away with it if no one figured it out. is he full of **it or is there some truth to the matter? i happen to think that he is b.s-ing his way out of something, dont know what. and he dose not even know what engine i want to put in there, he says anything other then what was in the car is iligal to put in. dose this mean that all you guys who have done swaps are hidding from the law?
P.S. I need to know befor i go b*t*h him out over it. proff would help. --------------------  |

the 1980 was just an example....... my point is this.... unless you're in california where the emissions are stiffer than a (well, lets not go there).... then you *might* run into some problems... but as long as you're running clean and have EGR stuff in there, you'll be fine
i BARELY failed WA emisisons with my JDM motor with NO emissions.... i could have passed no problem if i had just tossed in my old injectors... i was running too rich.... and this is, again, NO emissions.... |
