I searched and only came up with a TPI RX-7 that was legal in california. I was wondering if anyone here in california has an "engine change" sticker from the state.....looks like it can be done....but just wondering....the swaps looks SICK....I have had ALL the guys I work with looking over my shoulder for the past half hour....ha ha....I love this website....

 

I was under the impression that the law stated that the engine had to be from the same year or newer and just keep all of its emiisions ****.

 

to legally swap it i think you need to use all of the emissions equipment from the ls1 donor vehicle (if its newer than the 30 year rolling smog deadlline of course Then you will need to get it cerified by a referee.

All this info is on Torquecentral.
Do a search there.
Several LSx CA legal swaps.
It's not as bad as everyone thinks. Especially the way people out of state make it out to sound.

 

Oh and CA does not have a 30 year rolling exemption. That was repealed.

 

I have one of three that are CARB legal in CA
