The CHP website indicates that the motor is "perfect for a late model Mustang slated for daily use. Best of all, this short block is 50 state legal for emission controlled 1988-1995 Ford Mustangs originally equipped with 5.0L V8 engines!"

When I registered my Backdraft car in California....it took seven months.....they didn't care what engine was in it and it had only a PCV valve.
