Good grief. I can’t imagine dealing with this. It’s unfathomable. Can’t you just put a piece of cardboard that says “tag applied for” on the back and go?

Its been a frustrating experience, I think the most of the frustration comes from trying to do it the "right" way. Then that pathway gets blocked.

I've done a lot of Cummins swaps into 80's.
In most states, an obd1 cruiser with a Cummins will pass any emissions test for the gas engine. Obd2 will not.
Register obd2 swaps outside emissions areas. That is the best way. There are a lot of obd2 vehicles that have been repowered out there. They're pretty much all registered outside emissions areas. Just like deleted diesel pickups.
My biggest recommendation when dealing with a DMV is to play dumb, don't volunteer anything. I've run a half dozen obd1 80 series through Portland emissions testing and the passed no problem. I said "I don't know" a few times and acted like I couldn't care less about what they were doing. They walked me right through.
