I was looking into some engine swaps and have come up with a pretty great sounding swap. Ill be posting up after i finalize the plans but have a few questions about reffing an engine so i dont have to find my way around the smog. (cali regulations by the way)
The block will be the 5SFE.

Can i reff the 5SFE in a 94 ST? Yes? As long as the block is 94+?

Do the heads of the engine affect the reff success? Only if theres a VIN on the heads? Are there?

Does the Drivetrain affect the reff success?

How do i go about reffing if all this works out?

Any input would be really appreciated. . .

-DST 94
