Just my 2 cents worth,

I registered under1578 as an out of state purchase, licensed and titled in Texas. I did not qualify under sb100...long story.
When I went to the have the car tested for the bar # (first trip),
I was told that I had a truck engine in the cobra??? and that it was not going to be approved based on that fact. I asked him how he determined that and he told me: "I can tell".
So be careful about the engine type that you have in the car. There are laws about transplanting truck engines into cars.
After waiting for a year for sb1578 to become law, I reapplied for registration and title, had the engine tested ( same "truck engine") and had no problems at all.
Extremely frustrating for well over a year!!
