Been a long time lurker. I have a 76 and seriously thinking about doing a six conversion. Specifically looking at a 3.2. Will I still be able to retain all the smog related equipment. Or will fitment issues force me remove them.
I want to make sure I can still pass smog inspection. Thank you for all the great threads and inspiration. 914world rocks!!!! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yep, you will need the catalytic converter and EVERYTHING smog related to the engine that was originally installed on the new engine.
In the "old days" it was easy to get a smog guy to pass you with a few extra bucks or if he was a car buff. Hell, they might even put the tail pipe sniffer in a different car. These days with a rolling dyno, machines that are plugged directly to the DMV and smog inspectors worried about losing the licenses you should stick on the legal route. If for no other reason you won't be able to sell it. I hate to say it by my suggestion is to get an earlier car 75> that doesn't get a biannual smog test (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
