Re: SMOG LEGAL ENGINE SWAP TO LS yesterday passed!

@stevevangent Which ref did you go to? I’m assuming one near Redding.

We are just starting a 5.3 swap from a clean 2003 Yukon into an ‘86 shortbox with California emissions. Trying to piece back together the 80s computer controlled carb setup looks to be a nightmare so swapping it is. On the ‘03+ trucks and SUVs it is DBW and California emissions models no longer have air injection.

Interesting to know about the VATS setup. We were unsure whether the ref would allow VATS to be disabled in the ECU, so was going to hack together something to keep it all intact anyway.
