Actually, at least in CA, if you do an engine swap, the vehicle must have 
either the emissions controls for the year of the car, or the year of the 
engine, whichever is newer.  You also are not allowed to put an engine in 
that wasn't offerred by the factory in that particular chassis.
Once the swap is complete you have to go to the smog referee station to get 
it certified and exempted.
