Well they have to put that clause in their products so they can sell them legally. You can put a b16 off of hmotorsonline in your car and be street legal. What year is your car?

Yes sir its legal. I have a jdm h22 swap in my car its street legal. Everything is street legal. Well if your gonna do this all within 2 weeks you better just get everything ready before you get the motor.

e-check I dont know what that is I live in kentucky if your talking about emissions. Im sure it will if you use everything that is there for emissions like the car normally would. No your stock mounts will not work you have to get any b series mounts. You can get some stock b series mounts and put some poly bushings in place of that factory rubber crap. Or you can but some hasports which will run you around 400 or so there is a sponser on here that is running a sale on them it might be cheaper than 400 but those are the best mounts you can possibly get.
