Well yku need to have all the correct paperwork from jdm importer and then u gotta go to a place and get new emissions tag things and alot of paperwork. U also should get vin tags on the motor after paperwork for when u get pulled over and get looked at for stolen parts it pops up as legal and yours

There was a law passed last year or so that you can no longer swap in JDM engines on cars unless the car originally came with a similar engine in the US. What you can do is get a stamp and stamp it at the end.
