well if not mistaken you have to swap a motor either from the year of your car or newer in order to pass calis strict rules... dont quote me on that, but that is what i have read

No. Its not legal. Has to be same year or newer.

Sell it and buy a newer one, or save it and swap it into an older shell.

The brakes and seats would be good to swap over to your hatch.
