    Socal LS Swap -Smog legal

    We can always go that route but I drive my LS swapped S10 Blazer every day. I'd hate to have to put it on classic and locked in the garage 80% of the time.

    I assumed it would be some sort of checksum when they got around to figuring it out, I am surprised it has come on board so quickly. I assume all the other states will follow, I hope Arizona takes it's time getting around to it.

    You proved my point with your link. Show me one individual car owner fined, just one. They are all shops, not the vehicle owner. They are fined for performing modifications or selling emissions defeat parts. Not the car owner. They can't seize your personal vehicle or fine the consumer. Show me...

    Socal LS Swap -Smog legal

    Go back through and re-read my post. You missed most of it in your fever to reply, I never posted ANYTHING about shop installed swaps or parts. I referenced that the shop owners must pay for the equipment to test. Reading IS fundamental. Secondly, I did smog tests and repairs in California for...

    There is no "book" like you talk about. A 6.0 could be done. You have to pretend it's a 5.3 and base the swap on that. They won't check the block numbers. I can't imagine they have upgraded their systems to be able to see if the programing has been altered to show what codes have been tuned out...

    You realize they are going to do a visual right? I would guess if the guy is smart enough to get his license he's going to know it's not a small block.

    They can. Base your swap on a specific year and model. Being a truck it will have to be another truck platform. Have everything on your vehicle that the newer ride came with and you should be good. You don't need the exhaust down pipes you can fab your own as long as they conform to the basic...

    I have one. I sucked at flaring lines, I borrowed it once and had to buy my own. Awesome for making the push fit fuel lines on the multiple conversions I've done too.

    Damn dude, that doesn't seem like a lot of fun but better than the alternative. I'll quit crying about my shoulder replacement now lol.

    Lets guess the rattle (video)

    Sounds kind of like a cat rattle to me. Stethoscope would narrow it down.

    My Flat Tappet Cam Wiped Out So I Decided To Go Roller

    Pretty impressive place isn't it? I was skeptical when I first pulled in but when I got around the back I knew I found a real machine shop lol.

    My Flat Tappet Cam Wiped Out So I Decided To Go Roller

    RUN from ATK. I worked for a large nationwide used car dealer (now defunct) and two thirds of the ATK engines they installed didn't make it 10k. Some died on the customers first ride home. There is a guy in Scottsdale that does great work. I'll get the number from my buddy. It's a drive for you...

    1994 With light and dark gray interior what SEM color

    I never did paint anything, I didn't like the lack of match so I ran with it as is. My buddy had great luck here using his RPO code: https://www.paintscratch.com/touch-up-paint-codes/paint-code.html

    Traffic is Jacked anytime they have something going on there. I spent almost an hour getting out of the lot at my sons graduation. If the Cardnals have a home game I take another route home. :(

    Adhesive tape recommendations for tailgate band/emblem

    IMO, use the 3M adhesion promoter too. That stuff will make the tape stick like it's welded.
