I hate to sound like a n00b (even if I am one :D), but I just had a brief discussion with a friend of mine regarding the street legalities of an engine swap. He says any car with an engine swap is just about guaranteed to be illegal in California (for on-road use), regardless of how clean the emissions are. I would like to swap in a Cadillac Northstar, or even a 13B-REW rotary in my DeLorean someday. I live in Florida, so vehicle inspections aren't much of an issue. Still, though... if I ever move... =/ Also, what's the scoop on making JDM engines street-legal in the US? I know the Mazda RX-7s are on the US' eligibility list (yes, that includes the '95 RX-7s, which many of you already know wasn't officially available in the US by Mazda). Then there's the Nissan Skyline. ;) Since the RX-7 is on the list, shouldn't the RX-7s engine also be on that list? I find it difficult to believe that I can import an RX-7, go through all the modifications and whatnot to make it street legal, yet I can't put in a USDM 13B that came out of a '94 RX-7 in a DeLorean. Sounds like crap. ;) Please enlighten. Thanks in advance.
