I was digging through the FAQ's and emissions threads but can't find a reference for crate motor swaps. Since there is no "year" associated with the motor how do they identify emissions stuff. My FJ40 is currently registered as a 76 and I have a SBC in it now. If the 76 had an air pump how do I put one on my carb'd 383?

I could swap some tub parts and register it as a bit older vehicle but then my frame and tub numbers won't match, I have a scabplate covering most of the VIN anyway though...

I'm currently in FL and am looking for places to retire that are more in line with my recreational wants. I was stationed in CO for 4 years long ago after being in MT for 18 years and the mountains reminded me of home.

Can anyone shed some light on this???

thank you for your time.
