Sorry for my many Post hastes...
Can someone simplify the process you need to go through in USA (specifically in CA, since I hear CA is the hardest to get approval) to install a Japanese engine? A few specific questions I have is as follows:
-Do you need an engineering certificate/certification plate attached to the car to approve the engine swap, or do certain engines get pre-approved for easy "hybridization"?
-I hear that older engines (specifically the block) can not be installed into a newer car...Ive seen a few CA examples of older engines into newer cars (see FF Squad's vehicles). I assume that the engine must meet the same emissions standards as the original engine to pass (eg: evaporative purge valves, crank case ventilation, etc)?
Thanks again, peoples.
