In California it would be a lot easier to pass inspection. Swapping a motor from newer car into an older car is CARB legal if you include all of the newer car's emissions control stuff. Swapping an older motor into a newer car is a no-no. So Cali folks could swap in a turbo motor, and be making 270+ without having to worry about the fuzz.
