Re: engine swap, can it be smog legal (EGgoJDM)
Can be yes...but wiring the car to OBD2 will be an absolute bitch.
Main thing for BAR approved swaps:
-year of the car or newer
-Correct USDM ecu for that motor
-all wiring done to OEM spec or better, no krimp and electrical tape, must be soldered/heatshrunk
-all smog equipment hooked up
-correct timing

Re: (Magik123)
well I've desalt with the refs quite abit when I was BARing my old setup(see sig). I've always been under the impression thay if you swap inan OBD II a or b motor into an OBD1 car you need to convert everything to the OBD of the motor. which is why there are so few cross OBD cars that are smog legal. OP, get an OBD1 GSR or B16a and save yourself the headaches(you can always mod them later 
)
