If you do a conversion to a 76 car in CA, which requires smog checks do you know how the law works in regards to smog? As I recall there's some fine print if the motor is newer or older than than car it's going in (76)?? I still need to talk to the DMV for their version, but I always like to know the answers to my questions before I ask them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Close. I believe the rule is the emissions equipment goes with the engine or the car, whichever is newer. In effect, that basically prevents you from using an engine earlier than the car. The Cap'n, BTDT

The Cap'n, BTDT Cap; I don't agree at all! However, as I said in my post; the Referee is the final judge. Ask there before spending money based on what somebody said on the net. (man, I'd love to put a 1969 DZ block Z28 302 in a 914) Wes |
