    I think in some states such as California it is illegal to drop an engine into your car that was made before your car was. (for example, you couldn't put a '86 2.3T into your 87 Mustang.)

    I don't think they can really tell though.

    As far as emissions(smog check) go's the 2.3 Turbo mite be
    illegal.The 5.0 engine would pass emissions tho.
