i have a 91 JDm b16 mtor. but my car is a 95. for those in CA, how can u make ur motor look legit to the popos eyes when u get caught? here in CA it is illegal to swap a motor older than ur car. so what can i do to make it legit? does it have to include swapping blocks, heads? or just the VIN? any info is appreciated.

No motors have VINs.

All blocks are numbered, regardless of where it's from. All trannies have a marking plate riveted to them also.

Anyone who tells you the motor they're selling has no block # because it's JDM is a thief. (Just a heads up for everyone.)

 

have you seen a jdm block???? the popo can't tell what year the motor is but if you bring it to the ref you would need to change the dist o2 and ecu to obd1

 

my old motor didnt have numbers. all it said was " B18C" with no numbers under it.
but it also came from a Honda dealer in japan too so i guess that makes a difference.

 

All replacement blocks have no #s.

 

i have a JDM car and on the engine where it says B18C, the engine number is stamped under it.
