Make sure you do your research before swapping motors in Cali. If your truck is an 86' you must buy a motor that is the same year or newer. All smog equipment must be in place. Smog referee will do a full inspection and sign it off. I highly recommend that you go to your local DMV so they can print out all the specifics of a motor swap. This happened to a freind of mine. He swapped in a older motor into a newer truck and the smog ref wouldn't sign it off. Alot of time and money wasted. The truck been sitting for over a year now because DMV won't let him register it until he passes cali smog requirements. I'm just trying to save you the headache. Good luck.

Re: engine swap req'ments
Yeah, let us know. There should be a date stamp on the rear of the block.
