up for sale or trade is my mostly stock dayly driver, Im looking to get around 2k for it and thats a reasonable price considering how much i have payed for it/ put into the swap. Im located in san diego but im willing to meet in LA as well but buyer has to paypal me $30 so if they bail i dont waste gas driving to LA for nothing and if you buy the car i will take the $30 off the price. I dont have my camera right now but i will post pictures as soon as i can. you can post here i check it dayly or pm is fine.

Why would it not be? these are the things ANY USDM car to USDM motor swap has to have to be leagal.

Same make as the car (fordcar/ford motor,honda car/honda motor,gmc car/gmc motor, Etc.): YES
Same year or newer motor(car = 92, Motor =92+): YES
Any and all smog equipment (EGR, Cat,Etc.): YES

But you still have to take it to the state ref for it to be "legal" otherwise it's an illegal swap. Trust me, I have a 95KA in my 240 and I had to get it reffed.

i had a 98ka in my old 89 hatch and never had to ref it, got pulled over and hood poped, got reffed for my catback and they never said anything to me about my swap.

Im going to put the sale on hold and get the motor leagalized b4 i sell it, i dont want the buyer geting "FU*KED" for a swap that i did.

I didn't wanna muck up your FS thread anymore, so I figured I'd just PM you...

Yes, it is a legal swap, but it still needs to be BAR-approved. Some cops will notice that its a DOHC and not a SOHC, and hand you a ref ticket for it. Some smog shops (the more stringent, detail-oriented ones), will not pass you with that motor. The reason you've gotten away with it before was because the cop either didn't notice or didn't care, and the state ref that wrote off your exhaust ticket didn't give a damn due to the fact that you were there for the exhaust, not the motor.
Its easy to get it BAR-approved, though. As long as all the emissions equiptment is in place and functional, and there is no half-assed wiring, and it passes smog, it will be approved. Simple enough.

I've learned all this from experience. :hs:

Good luck with your sale, and I'm sorry if I offended you in your thread.
