its legal unless you live in CA. all you need to do is get the correct harness, ecu and distributer. i have never heard of a law where its illegal to run a obd0 motor.

its against FEDERAL LAW to install an engine of a previous model year to the chassis of the vehicle. the engine must be chassis model year or NEWER

hmmmm well i would not worry about it, just my opinion. how often have you heard of someone getting a ticket for running a obd1 motor in a obd2 chassis? me, never. unless your in cali who actually checks for this i dont think it makes a difference. in WA we have strict laws, but this is always overlooked.
