How do you know that? Maybe he lives in California where you aren't allowed to swap in older engines into newer cars.

Every state has different laws regarding emissions, engine swaps, headlights, suspension, etc.

As far as the actual swap goes, you'll need an OBD1 ecu, jumper harness, and rewire your current harness for the obd1 engine you're dropping in. Mounts, transmission, etc will all be plug and play.

OK my bad..
let me rephrase that.
He may be asking because it may not pass smog test in some states.
