I don't know about the other guys but I tell all my potential CA customers what to expect and how difficult it can be to register. SB100 isn't the only way to register a car in CA. I have many that have gone through the emissions program and received a go. I always tell these guys to go as old as you can on the engine block so you only have to meet emissions for that year. I know there is a 25 year rule on the engine so anything older just has to meet the requirements for that year. They usually must have a PCV system and the correct air cleaner if the engines are pre 1974. I think the whole problem is as Jim found out. Illegal registration. Also the people using Ford or GM crate engines. They must meet emissions for the year the engine was produced which is impossible. That's why all the crate motors are sold as off-road only.
