"In California you can put a small black chevy in a 1981 starlet. As long you have all the emission controls and meet the emission levels of the newer unit.

But Australia states will not allow it at all. For "safety" reasons, rather than emission reasons. California is the land of its own car market for emission regulations."


I was speaking mainly of the smog exempt aspect in California, 1975 and earlier. Actually I agree with Australia with the safety regs, as some of the conversions that I have seen in California are really jury rigged and not safe. I have been doing engine conversions since 1966, and had a shop from 1972-1980 until they went to the bi-annual smog here. Unless a person really "has" to have a V8, knock yourself out, but hot 4 bangers are really the way to go in the Sunny 1200.
