Gerard,
I would not be surprised if the DMV uses the engine year
as it's reference point. The question is...how many of us are going
to go down there and tell them "Hey, I just threw a 83 motor in my
64 Spit.....got a problem with that ?"
As Mr. "bubba" Clinton is prone to say....Don't ask, Don't tell

Subject: 948 vs 1275 and the DMV
Hi All,
A friend tells me California DMV and hence law enforcement would frown on a
1275cc engine in a Bugeye. He says smog enforcement is by engine year and
not body year of the vehicle. I always thought it went by vehicle year and
that it wasn't an issue on pre-smog vehicles. I've never seen this
discussed on the list before.
Anyone know which is correct?
TIA,
Gerard
