Wanna bet? I just had a smog check on our 2012. The tech spent at least 5 minutes looking under the hood. I was failed a few years back because the CARB sticker didn't math the car, even though the engine was EXACTLY the same as the car the sticker was issued for (a Lincoln LS vs. Ford Thunderbird; both used the SAME, EXACT 3.9L V8). The PRK is very, very strict on these things.

The ONLY legal, registratable engine swap is one-for-one; or a newer APPROVED version of the same engine. Wanna swap (were it not so difficult) the N63 into a N55 car? Nope, the car won't be registratable for street use. This state is so STUPID I converted my "assault" rifle to a non-"assault" rifle in 30 minutes with ONE change! I just LOVE the illogical thinking of the left!
