Smog recertification, auto to manual swap?
Has anyone in California had their vehicle re-certified after they did a modification to the engine or an engine swap into another vehicle? I am curious what sort of tests they do and how much work/cost this takes.
I swapped a T56 6-speed into my '01 Silverado which had a 4L60E in it. I'm no expert, but I suspect that this thing would not pass smog during the "visual" inspection because of this. Not to mention I had to turn off a half dozen codes in the PCM.

It will be interesting to see what happens next year when the tailpipe check is stopped and ODB2 port scanning takes over. I think it is only on 2000+ year vehicles.The word is they are checking the PCM for OEM checksums, so we don't know what's going to happened with programmed PCMs.
