I am from California and starting a project swap. This would be my first swap. I already have the engine and the body, just missing the ECU. I was actually at pick and pull today trying to find one. All I found was a 4ag engine and its ECU. The car was made in the states. Any ideas on where I should Start?

Well, I talked to some friends. They mention that if the engine was once in the car, it's possible to finish the paperwork. Something about a loop hole.

From link: Engine Changes Engine changes are legal as long as the following requirements are met to ensure that the change does not increase pollution from the vehicle: * The engine must be the same year or newer than the vehicle. * The engine must be from the same type of vehicle (passenger car, light-duty truck, heavy-duty truck, etc.) based on gross vehicle weight. * If the vehicle is a California certified vehicle then the engine must also be a California certified engine. * All emissions control equipment must remain on the installed engine. -------------------------------- I've already looked into a 3sgte swap. Not possible in CA. |
