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!!!! |

The catch on that Nevada registration thing is the ID card--you cant use a PO Box for that you'd have to have a physical address to make that happen...My Uncle(s) do this with their motor homes and their built rock crawler jeeps because of CA Smog and fees...
Back to the Original Post...I've had several cars that were way out of CA smog compliance--one a 914/6 conversion (before they moved the dates out), the other a Suzuki Samurai all built out...Both really sweet and SUPER smog "illegal"...just like you're 76 is going to be... Every time I had to register them I had to find a crooked smog guy and pay anywhere from $100-500 to get a 'smog check' that would take 2 months to get the paperwork for...that will prove to be such a royal pain in the ass that you'll get frustrated and sell the car, I did, both times... There's still a loop hole out there that California, if it gets a wild hair up it's ass, can "roll back" the exemption status and I could be back to smoging my '74 if I want the privilege of using public streets... Get an earlier tub and go to town or buy someone else's already done conversion in a legal year! |
