So I tried searching around different forums as well as here on SvtPerformance and I've had no luck finding and info on this swap. I live in California and they're strict about everything, but seeing that the motor was offered in the same chassis would it be possible to do? I'm aware of some of the rules such as, the engine has to be newer than the one your taking out, has to be from a car not a truck, same company, etc.. But I've heard of some guys with foxbody's who swapped a pushrod 5.0 into their 4 cyl cars with no hassle form the smog refs so I figure the same thing would apply to my situation? :shrug:
