Turk,
A couple of questions. In your statement # 2 you said that you can't use an older model year engine in a newer car. I agree with that so far as if you took a regular car and tried it, but by SB-100 you have the option as the owner of registering the car by the body year or engine year and if the referee disagrees he can change it to a 1960. Your CSX will be a 1965/66 when you register it most likely, but for another few days until SB-708 becomes law you could put a 1960 motor in it and register it by the motor year under SB-100. The car will still be a 2003 or whatever but will have the smog exemption.
# 6= They are after all cars period and not just Cobras, street rods and special construction cars.
# 7= There won't be any number once SB-100 is gone so that becomes irrelevant.
I hope that the persons I have talked to are wrong but according to them, my stock 1965 Comet with a 2 barrel 289 under SB-708 becomes prey for the state to mandate I make it meet their emission requirements. At present according to them this would carry back to 1959 cars of any kind. This is not to contradict you or start another big off tangent argument but to see if anyone else has any more information on this. Everything you said is true, you just never went far enough if what I have managed to find out is true. Keep checking and let us know if you find out more.
