The truck is registered as a diesel so no smog cert to worry about.....
Unless they change the law next year

Rick,
you will have smog certificate issues with the engine swap. it will require
you to be checked by a "referee" and have a special smog placard on the door
jamb for future inspections. I came across the info researching a 350SBC
swap into a S-10.It was well documented by a website of a shop that
specializes in the conversion. Essentially (in California) you have to
maintain the smog requirements of the year of the vehicle, not impossible,
but there is some red tape to cut thru.

Ok the plan has morphed a little here
Jim Price has basically donated a 76 500 inch Cadillac El Dorado motor They
make 300 or so hp and about 500 ftlbs stock From what I hear it is a common
swap in Chevy trucks and suburbans With some modern hot rodding I think 400
hp is not out of the question
Now anyone know any Cady guru's ?? Any thoughts or comments??
