I keep getting contradicting info. One site says the engine will not meet smog, and yet people have swapped the engine into US Celica's. I Live in California where all the regulations are the strictest, is it legal to swap in the 3s-gte or not?

So is it feasible for me to do this or not. The law I think doesnt say you have to swap a same or newer engine, it just says the engine has to meet the smog specs of your year model. meaning a 93 all-trac probably wouldnt. I live in LA so I'm pretty sure bribing some one in the ghetto wouldnt be imposible... or I could just get an EGR and mickey mouse it onto the engine (doubt that would work...)
edit: idealy a 3rd gen would be awsome, and smog only comes around every two years, I'll just keep the 5s-fe engine around and just drop it back in for every smog.... :-/ (yes that was a joke) I guess I should just learn to love the 5s-fe....
