If that's the case, most likely as-is it won't pass BAR unless the parts can be made CARB-exempt.

It's such a niche market that most likely @Speedhead won't bother trying to get it certified... but given that the engine needs to be out of same MY or newer car, anyone wanting a completely certified, street-legal DIT swap in California would need to get over the hump of trying to find a complete engine for sale for no less than $7k+.

At that price point I'd consider turboing the factory FA20 D4S first.
