Reference the CT Registration Thread, ( Composite is CT name for kit cars/replicas ) starting with page 25 and the new CT emissions requirements as of August 1 :

It is this EPA hardware mandate which requires with no options or alternatives CT to issue the new Composite emission regulations. The EPA requirement has been in effect at least since 1994. If you care to review their information it is available at

CT does not have the SEMA legislation. However, since 2007 the Composites are exempt from emissions testing, but as noted as of August 1,2008, must have the period correct, based upon the year of the engine block, emissions hardware and systems installed, even though there will not be any testing.
The 1994 EPA regulation also mentions the heads must be of the same year as the engine block.
