Threw in a 88-92 SOHC ZC longblock from hmotors few weeks ago on my 90 hatch. Old hatch had 125/123/120/70 compression across the board, leaking oil everywhere. So without any further questions I just did the swap.

Car was smogged right before I bought it 3 months ago so I still got some time til new smogging is needed. (I've also realized that with that compression and how horribly the car was running, running rich the whole time, that there is no way that the previous owner got a legit smogging). Soooo, does anyone know if 88-92 SOHC ZC longblock is smog legal in California, or am I just going to have to give someone a hefty tip?

Any PM's on any place that is more generous with passing vehicles is much appreciative.

 

yes its smog legal and thats the same engine i swapped in my ed3 back in february...!!!
