So the real question still is when is someone going to figure out how to swap these cars and have them be actually inspect-able for all of us who live in states that have an OBD2 inspection, which is getting to be more and more states/counties, including the state Pure Auto is working in.


Yes I'm aware that waivers are a thing, for now...
Like he said, in places with the same or similar laws as Califor, you can swap a replacement engine, or any newer engine from any make or model as long as all emissions equipment is unmodified and present. The two hardest things are not modifying the headers or cats in any way to fit, and to not modify the ECU/wiring completely and having a working car.
