    Its not tough to do emissions with a swap. Just don't make mention of it as shyne said. If the car is before 96, I wouldn't even worry about a CEL so much. Most emissions regulations go body-like to body like. IE: whatever vehicle you swap the motor into, it must conform to those regulations. Sounds bad, but it is not so bad. Just retard your timing, richen it up a smidge, make sure your cat is unclogged and your EGR works.

    And ditto on the emissions. Shyne is a pretty good tech. He'll make sure you pass ok, swap or no.


    And no swap here, but I've got my motor modded to the hilt pretty good. Its somewhat easier to pass with standalone fuel/spark management but it takes time.
