Legal engine swaps?

Wait a minute. I think you are missing the whole point of smog controls.
It's not to reduce emissions, it's to create jobs from the resulting
beuracracy. If the true aim was to really reduce emissions, they would
simply require you to meet (or exceed) the emissions standards of your year
and model and ENCOURAGE any device you can come up with meet that goal. It's
kinda like power plant continious emission monitoring (CEM, does nothing to
reduce emissions but created a new Wallstreet job of pollution credit traiding.
