Swap and smog . . . I love Cali :(
like the outher guys sed the trany / rear dosent mader no need to fret
i dont think thay check the year the eng was made just that u have the smog parts that your saying it came from & it pases that years smog reqierments.
you can upgrade to your 50 state aftermarket parts too but it's best to wate until after geting the ok stamp from the ref in stock trim @ least thats what the ref by me sed to do
Neither is putting a stock 98 block into a stock 99 car. Even though its almost the same thing (in which I believe it is), because its an older block it would then be illegal. Even if it passes with flying colors. Because we live in the great state of CA its illegal because of the states impractical laws.
A ref will fail you if you do not have a trans that was offered with the engine you are swapping from the factory.
A guy on another forum was failed because he mated a jeep tranny to his ls1.. wht the trans has to do with emissions is a head scratcher to me, but it isn't a surprise(damn california).
Maybe the ref will overlook it, maybe he won't. Best thing to do would be to call them to make sure.

I know if your swapping engine into a car and it's not for that year your supposed to have the state reff approve it to make it smog legal, my question though (and yes this may seem dumb but better ask before spending a good chunk of $$$$ on something that will bite me in the *** in 2years) does it make a difference on transmissions and rear ends? I'd like to ditch my A4/10 bolt with 3.23's for a T-56/S60 with 3.42's or 3.73's and I'm hopin it doesn't fall under the same rule of you need to provide donor material. Thanks in advance for any answers and mod's if this isn't the right forum please move it
