Remove // rebuild // then swap into EK... Otherwise IMHO it will be a waste in a year at least.

Dunno about Canada's specific laws but if it's anything like here in the States he's going to run into quite a few problems.

The car is OBD2 and the motor is OBD0. Also, if they have emissions testing like they do here, he can't pass because his OBD2 car won't be able to communicate with the checking software through an OBD0 ECM.

i dont know if canada would care, especially if you are kinda in the sticks. in MN i have never been asked to open my hood for inspection of any sort, or have to worry about emissions.
