hey guys. i live in north california, and i was just wondering if it were illegal to swap in a 4age or a 3sgte into my car. i drive a 94 clieca st and i kno how strict california smog laws are over here. i also heard that the only swap i would be able to do over here is the first generation 3sgte in order to make it smog legal. is that tru or not. am i also able to swap in the 4age and still make it legal?

Welcome to the board! I'd think that the 4A-GE would be illegal because it's a JDM engine, but I'm guessing that any USDM 3S-GTE(I'd strongly recommend the 2nd gen from an ST185 if you go that route, but then you'd have to change motor mounts and transmissions and stuff) would be legal. You could swap in the USDM 4A-GZE from a MR-2 probably though, because that engine is available in the US. I'm not completely sure about California laws however.
