What about registering it out of state? If my car was from NV and it was kept in NV, could you get away with the Smog law? I would think you can....
Got to comply to California state laws to be driven on California road ways regardless what state it's registered in.

All of your input was great reading. I personally have yet to own a built fox, maybe someday. A couple of you on this forum know me personally , and I've had a bunch of these cars. I just can't see throwing big money into a car you will not keep. Does anyone think the Coyote swap is worth it? I'm not worried about the cash, Is it worth it?

I think it's worth it depending on how you set it up, it's almost the same cost as building a 1000+ HP billet internal Dart motor, but the dart motor would be easier to do.

Do you have any friends or family in CA that live outside of a smog zone? If so register your car there... You will have to get it smogged once to transfer title.

In about 5-6 years a Coyote swap will be more affordable as the price of those 2011-2014 GT will drop and become even more available through insurance auctions. But to get a Boss 302 donor would be the equivelant of trying to get a Terminator donor. The are not as available and highly looked for by people building hot rods and custom Fords.
I'm in the middle of a Coyote build. Like my last build it's going to be a complete swap i.e. a 2013 GT in a 1990 shell. Electric power assist steering, ABS traction control, interior, motor/transmission, with coil overs all around and IRS.
