Default d16z6 into 2000 honda civic(illegal?)

blew my engine so now im doing a d16z6 swap in my 2000 civic so yeah i know that in most states are illegal to put and older engine in a newer car. but i was wondering if that was for wisconsin too? anyone out there knows if its a good idea to do that swap? and i dont think i ever heard anyone doing emission tests here. i would buy another obd2 sohc engine to replace it but those things around here are like 1000-up and d16z6's are only around 300-600. so does anyone that lives in Wisconsin know a place i can find out about older engines in newer car or anything?

Your best bet is to call your local DMV and ask. That's the only way you'll know for sure.

I do know that in Wisconsin after you do a swap you have to get 'hobby' plates for it. Only Southeastern WI does emissions testing (because of the large populations of Milwaukee and Chicago).

That doesn't work. Z6 2 piece harness, a Y8 one piece. Its kind of a pain in the *** swap however you want to look at it.
