That's true if you put a mustang 5.0 v8 into a honda civic, not if you put a mustang 5.0 v8 into a mustang, that was offered with that same engine during the year the car was sold.


I do nothing special for smog for either of my engine swapped mustangs.

Pretty much any engine swap for almost any application can eventually be smog legal; given special inspections and approval decals from state ref.
It use to be that that engine had to be offered for that year,make and model.
As things have evolved over the years....it has been for a while now that the state referee can inspect and make approval on any 'otherwise' conversion. Meaning as long as everything is disclosed on the year, make, model engine donor swap and all of those applicable smog equipment devices are not only present on the install but "fully operable." The swap engine cannot be older than the year of the vehicle you are swapping it all into. Ie....fuel injection swapped to Carb.

I have my smog license and if the vehiclehad the option of a v8 as long as all the smog components are on it it will pass smog. No referee needed. Now if you are trying to put a v8 in a car that doesnt have the option from the factory you then need to get it refereed and it must have all the smog components of the year of the engine. you cannot put an older engine in a newer car but you can put a newer engine in an older car.
