i think he needs a very cruel punishment for being so gay and stupid.
he has an ugly car too.
you guys should definitely slash his tires... that'd be awesome dont you think BIGPIMPIN?

Engine Switching
At some point during the lifetime of a vehicle it may become necessary to replace the engine. There are certain guidelines to follow when replacing a vehicle's engine so that the effectiveness of the emission control system is not degraded. Preferably the replacement engine should be identical to that of the original engine. However, the replacement of an engine with that of one within the same engine family may be made as long as the engine/chassis combination conforms to the same or newer model year with regard to all emission-related parts, engine design parameters, and engine calibrations. An example of engines within the same engine family would be the Chevrolet V8s of 283, 305, 327, 350, and 400 cubic inch displacement. Also, replacing an originally installed V6 engine with a V8 engine may be made if either of the engines along with the engine-specific emission controls are used in that model vehicle by the manufacturer for retail sale.
Engine switching involves replacing the original engine on a vehicle with an engine from another manufacturer, or replacing the original engine with one from the same manufacturer that was never installed on that model vehicle. Federal law prohibits any person from removing or rendering inoperative any emission control device installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine. Such persons are subject to civil penalties as a result of tampering with the emission control devices. Engine switching is considered as being a form of tampering since the resulting engine configuration departs from the original design requirements for the emission-related parts, engine calibrations, and other design parameters in place at the time of U.S. EPA emission certification for that vehicle. Enforcement action is generally not taken for engine switching at the state level, but a vehicle with tampered emission controls resulting from engine switching will likely fail emissions testing and will not be able to be registered.
For vehicles that have had the engine switched, the model year described by the chassis Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) will be considered as the model year of the vehicle. For a given engine displacement and vehicle weight, the emission standards applicable to a vehicle with a switched engine undergoing vehicle emissions testing will be determined by the model year assigned to the chassis; not the model year of the replacement engine. You should be aware of this provision if you are contemplating switching an engine of a newer vehicle with an engine from an older vehicle.
Points to remember
- Federal law prohibits tampering with emission control systems or other systems reconfiguration that might degrade the effectiveness of emission controls.
- Engine switches are acceptable as long as the resulting vehicle matches exactly to any "certified" configuration of the same or newer make and model year as the chassis.
- These guidelines apply to both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles. However, it is not acceptable to interchange and heavy-duty engine into a light-duty chassis.
- Diesel powered vehicles that have been converted to operate on gasoline must meet the emissions standards and applicable emission control equipment for the year, make, model of its equivalent gasoline vehicle's body and chassis. Simply put, a diesel-to-gasoline conversion is legal if the gasoline engine used was originally available from the original auto manufacture in the same year body/chassis as the diesel engine.
