Engine Swaps vs Smog Laws
 

Hi

What's the story on various US state smog law and swapped in engines.

I see that folks swap different engines into different 4x4s and
I'm curious how that works out regarding smog laws.

I'm mainly concerned with how one can legally drive such a vehicle
on the street. Obviously it is possible to trailer/tow pretty much
anything out to the boonies for offroading, but I'm considering
something along the lines of a Jeep/Land Cruiser with a Chevy motor
and would like to be able to drive it legally on the highway as well
as offroad.

I'm in Nevada, but I'd be interested to hear about other states
as well. Any comment or pointers to websites that can help me
figure this out would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Claude

It varies state to state. The only person with the answers is your own DMV.

Must be nice.

Turns out the one I was looking at has catalytics and a smog pump
on it so I took the plunge.

At least Nevada isn't as bad as Kalifornia...

No smog tests or inspections in Oklahoma anymore.
I really wish they would bring back inspections. Far too many
morons out there with excessively low tires, bald tires, broken lamps, etc.

I swear the average driver these days is incapable of maintaining their
vehicles.

Re: Engine Swaps vs Smog Laws
 

Most states don't have a problem swapping an engine into a vehicle, so
long as the engine is not any older than the vehicle is. So you could
swap a 2000 engine into a 1997 vehicle but not a 1997 engine into a 2000
vehicle.

Re: Engine Swaps vs Smog Laws
 

Thanks. I've been looking out for a desert buggy and
this one seems to fill the bill. It's a bit weird
buying a vehicle sight unseen on Ebay but the seller
seems to be an honest person and the description fits
my wants for the most part. Time will tell if the risk
was worth it or not...

You can have crap falling off your vehicle here in Nevada too
as long as it'll pass the smog test...

Re: Engine Swaps vs Smog Laws
 

Colorado just struck back at that one - upped the fine for discarding
human waste on the right of way to something like $500.

As for the safety inspection, I have mixed emotions. When I was a
Cadet here, I would help my future FIL do inspections in his gargage.
I came to the conclusion that inspecting tires and such once (even
twice) a year really didn't make much difference - needs to be done
MUCH more often than that to be effective - say, every time you get
in?? Same thing for brakes - they would wait until inspection time
rather than keeping on top of it on a continuing basis. Since
Colorado dropped the safety inspections something like 30 years ago
statistics provided by the state pretty well back up the move.

I could see a one-time requirement for a new registration - start with
a clean slate on an unknown vehicle - but it's usually too little, too
late after that. The Colorado troopers are pretty good about stopping
bad tires and obvious defects - gives them a good excuse to sniff and
snoop.
