Replacement Parts Guidelines - Aftermarket, Performance and Add-On Parts Regulations (http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/replace.htm?PF=Y)

"Replacement Engines
Entire engines can be replacement parts. As with any other replacement part, the engine must be identical to the original. If the replacement block or engine is obtained without emissions equipment, all the equipment from the original engine must be installed on the replacement block.
If the engine is not identical to the original then it is not a replacement part, instead it is considered an engine change.
Engine changes are a modification that must meet certain requirements to be legal (please see "Engine Changes"). "

"
Engine Changes
Engine changes are legal as long as the following requirements are met to ensure that the change does not increase pollution from the vehicle:
The engine must be the same year or newer than the vehicle.

The engine must be from the same type of vehicle (passenger car, light-duty truck, heavy-duty truck, etc.) based on gross vehicle weight.

If the vehicle is a California certified vehicle then the engine must also be a California certified engine.

All emissions control equipment must remain on the installed engine.

After an engine change, vehicles must first be inspected by a state referee station. The vehicle will be inspected to ensure that all the equipment required is in place, and vehicle will be emissions tested subject to the specifications of the installed engine. "

sorry dont know about to vq too much but hopefully someone else can chime in

A better question is - Have anyone ever bar'd any motor in a 240sx? I seen countless motorswaps and tall tales, but I am fairly sure than a lot of swapped 240sx aren't bar'd.

I am curious if anyone has actually done any motor in a 240 and had it bar'd. Reason I ask is because most motorswaps would require custom headers and I dont know if that is legal, what if the egr ports are retained but aftermarket headers are used? There are a lot of questions like this. that I would like to know.
