The guy who did it is a dumbass. I would've read what the hood engine size said and kept going. Most of the people who do emissions know nothing of engine swaps, unless you tell them about it. But on the same token, if you make them aware of your engine swap, then they're gonna panic. Overload on their brains. You need keep your mouth shut next time and just go in next and tell them you want emissions, but at another shop. If you feel the need to blabber off, bite your tongue. If the nox is high, retard your timing. If HC's are high and your idle is screwy, change your O2 sensor. If you don't wanna get it done anywhere else, PM me and I'll do the emissions.
