not to mention swapping that motor into a 96+ car is illegal because 94-95 cars are OBD I while 96+ are OBDII...

What planet are you from? Show me where the federal government says you cant do that. What if he wanted to put a carb on a motor. If he buys an 50 states legal carb, he is NOT breaking any laws. Maybe your New York laws are different. Around here it is LEGAL.

you cant swap down when it comes to emmissions...if the car came equipped from the factory with OBDII then you cant go lower than that or it will fail an inspection, a real inspection anways....and no if he went carb, even if its 50 state legal its still no good...it would be 50 state legal for an older car....but i know not for an OBD II car...not sure about OBD I or OBD 0....


Anthony

id say around 1500 as a longblock at the most, if you could get the whole car for cheap and swap it all over.


and i got some choice mods for sale, heads, cam, roller rockers etc......PM fer details.

Yeah some of our states emmissions laws are quite as laxed as Ohio. Or we would all have long tubes and o/r h-pipes. Round here they wont even touch your cats if you have OBD II.

we can go federal on this if you want....this is just from a google search...direct off the EPA site about the CAA (clean air act)

Sec. 203. (a) The following acts and the causing thereof are
prohibited-....



(3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any
device or element of design installed on or in a motor
vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regula-
tions under this title prior to its sale and delivery to the
ultimate purchaser, or for any person knowingly to remove or
render inoperative any such device or element of design
after such sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser; or

(B) for any person to manufacture or sell, or offer to
sell, or install, any part or component intended for use
with, or as part of, any motor vehicle or motor vehicle
engine, where a principal effect of the part or component is
to bypass, defeat, or render inoperative any device or
element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or
motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under
this title, and where the person knows or should know that
such part or component is being offered for sale or
installed for such use or put to such use;


so...installing something on a car that does not meet the standards for that model year is illegal..FEDERALLY...no matter the state....im sure i could dig further into this if you want....
