WRONG.!
You can't put an engine in a vehicle older than the model year of the vehicle hoping the engine alone would make you smog exempt.</i>

I transfered a Cobra title here in California a few years ago. Mine was registered already as a 1991. Engine was a 1968. Smog requirements did go by the engine year. ( This was according to the smog referee station). The only emission hardware I needed to past smog was a PCV value. Has the law changed recently?

Yes. Significantly. And you can have your replica re-registered as well. If you looked at how to do it on my site, you'll find that your car is a good strong candidate to become smog exempt. If you need any help doing it, feel free to ask. I've done a whole bunch of cars under SB100.

Your pal,
Meat.
