<html><div><font color="#0000ff" face="Verdana" size="2"></font> <br>I am in the portland oregon area and when I called the DEQ about a car I have that is powered by a 78 ford v8, they said they didn't care what I did to the motor or if I replaced the motor, as long as it passed the original vehicle test criteria when they sniffed the pipe. The only OEM requirement was that if the original drivetrain had a catalytic converter, then you had to still have one. In that case I was pulling off the entire intake & smog controls and replacing it all with an EFI/ECU system.<br><br>Fortuantely my TR6 is a 74 and doesn't have to be DEQ certified.<br><br>-grego<br></div>

I ran a BMW 320i (78) here in Oregon for years without them noticing that the air pump and other crap was missing. Of course, I had a clean engine bay :)<jattr6@hotmail.com><blu406-eas25424d88f48907de579b65a80e40@phx.gbl></blu406-eas25424d88f48907de579b65a80e40@phx.gbl></jattr6@hotmail.com></blockquote></html>
