i live in CA (which has very stupid car laws) and was wondering if when u swap, lets say, a 3sgte engine will it stop you from passing the smog test? and if it does stop you then is there any way to prevent that? even if it is just for the drive over to the smog test place? thanks.

just go and bribe someone at a smaller type smog shop... thats the easiest way, because even a 90-93 3s-gte wont meet the smog standards of your year car, they might, but prolly wont considering smog standards increase every year and manufacturers often upgrade emisions equipment.
