I know this may not be the right forum to ask this, but being a hybrid issue, i will post it here:

I recently had a legit usdm B20z motor put in my 98 civic hb. I sold my stock d16y7 motor/tranny to the guy who perform the swap. He is going to the state ref to get my old motor register in his salvaged civic so he can put it for sale.(I signed the release paper)

My tag/smog is due at the end of this year(why didn't i get my car smog when i still had the civic motor in?!, i didn't figure it will be good for 90 days, I made a stupid move)

oh well, but will the state of california know that my motor is in another vehicle while I try to get my car smog in some sort of way? In other words, would it be in conflict to register my civic V.I.N. for the B20 motor(assuming visual isn't being undertaken) while already being register in another car(the other dude's salvage car) two months apart?

How do I go about on getting my car to pass smog, if not visual? If i take it to a smog station that doesn't do visual, will they register the smog under my stock civic motor which I don't have anymore?

I'd appreciate if I can get some insight in the complication. Thanks
