Re: TOY: Engine swaps in CA?



I see absolutely no reason for the Supra swap to not be legal in CA.

The engine does NOT have to be out of a truck.  I believe you are not
supposed to put a truck engine in a car (unless that engine also happened
to be used in a car somewhere too), but a car engine in a truck is fine.
Maybe that's where you are confused...?

The main concerns are that the engine must be the same year or newer & it
must be installed with all smog equipment that the doner vehicle had (all
in working order of course).
