Your state won't fail you for having an older motor in a newer chassis? You know that's illegal on a federal level.

Why not get a hold of a Y8 head. Problems pretty much solved.

y8 dizzy wont work use the z6 just get a jumper harness or cut plug of y8 dizzy and install on z6 dizzy......you will need knock sensor or trick it and the crank angel sensor.. and your good .....that sensor by the injectors is for emission and the ex and si use the same......if you have the y8 use the entire y8 intake mani on the z6

Can the swap be done? Yes, but it's illegal to do it.
if you any sort of emissions in IL you will FAIL.


but, EK doesn't help. We need to know the year!
