Been a long time lurker. I have a 76 and seriously thinking about doing a six conversion. Specifically looking at a 3.2. Will I still be able to retain all the smog related equipment. Or will fitment issues force me remove them.
I want to make sure I can still pass smog inspection. Thank you for all the great threads and inspiration. 914world rocks!!!! |

These cars are so old the refs have no clue what was or wasn't oem for that engine. When I had my 911 3.0 certified the CA Ref asked me what year the engine was. Never bothered to look at the engine #. He looked on the computer and saw a cat was not required. He ran the test, printed the compliance tag, stuck it on the door jamb and I was done.
I'm sure it's alot different if you're an aftermarket manufacturer trying to certify a system. YMMV. |

You could risk it, you can do all the homework on all the different combinations and modifications, do all the conversion work on that 76' chassis, get it running and tuned and inspection ready, and possibly get away with it....
