RE: [DML] RE: Re: GM Engine/modifying your Delorean



Claude - the rules are a little bit fuzzy in this area,
but a good rule of thumb is that the certification 
follows the year of manufacture of the engine or 
of the rest of the car, whichever is NEWER. What 
that means is that if I wanted to put a 1999 Ford 4.6L
modular engine in my 1971 Mustang, the car would have
to meet 1999 emission standards. If I wanted to take
the 250cid I6 in my 1971 Mustang and put it into 
a 1999 Mustang, the combination would still have to 
meet 1999 standards. This includes any OBDII
standards. There are some onsiderations made for 
cars that are obviously not for everyday use such
as race cars and some street rods.

I may be wrong on this (because of the age of our Deloreans) would 
not the "Feds" bust them for Emissions tampering/modifying from 
stock,
