I'm pretty sure that (in california) you can replace
your engine with any engine that was available in that
vehicle or any engine in the same "family" as the
engine you have.  Thus it is legal to swap in a 502
BBC into a 1994 chevy pickup where a 454 once was,
provided you hook up all existing emmisions stuff.

I don't live anywhere near CA, so don't quote me. 
This is based on reading every magazine for the last 5
years.  The only emmisions they know are those in CA.
