As for the questions, Its a california truck and Has no emissions on it because of the motor swap, the guy told me he could smog it since he knows a guy that would do it for him. It will pass the sniffer with everything thats on it now, just wont pass visual.

My question is... Cant I just find some VIN plates for a 73 or 74 and slap them on the doors and re-register it as smog exemt so I wont have to mess with emissions again?

Its either that or turning it into a Fuel injected 350 or putting all the smog pump garbage back on this motor (wich I really dont want to do)
