I went to the smog referre the other day to see if i did my V8 engine swap up to code. He looked at my Jeep and said you did a fine job but you can meet any smog requirements for California!!! But why I ask? So he started down the list.
#1 you have a Corvette motor, then you have to have a Corvette transmission, I said the Corvette has a Transmission in the rear of the car this is a Corvette style trans.?
#2 A Corvette never came with a transfer case.
#3 you have to have Corvette headers, Catalytic converters, intake, gas tank. I said that stuff will not fix in my Jeep. So what do I do? He said I don't care you just can't register it
here!!
So In review, you have to use all the same engine, trans, transfer case,headers, as were in the
donor car or truck, So the smog guy can turn your Jeep into a Chevy 4 x 4 truck or a Dodge 4 x 4 truck. As to what I am going to do? I am not sure yet! I most likely going to register it in another state. My Dad Lives in Arizona,
PS. the smog guy said that the newer motor produces much less smog than the in line Six!!!...
