Looking At a crate motor for my 86. I see tons of cars around with crate motors.

When I took the car in for inspection they did not SNIFF it but they did look under the hood and under the car to make sure everything "original" appeared to be there including cat.

How do these guys pass insp with a carbed crate motor, no emissions WHATSOEVER and no cat.....

Call me crazy if I just need to find a cooperative inspection station but the oil change place I went to was all worried about 1 of the 4 lights in my CHMSL being burnt out.

I would bet they would have freaked if they popped the hood to see a crate motor....again to I just need to find a coperative inspection station or what?

I am from Michigan and we dont have any silly inspections there we just pollute the air with big bad motors in bad azz american muscle and like it..

Thell need a friend in the business or a shop that's "cooperative." You can make things look original and functional and considering that these cars are older than what most mechanics know about as long as you can feed them a good line of bs thell probably buy it as they probably dont care enough to make an issue of it. Also going to a local hole in the wall shop helps as there not as strict about things usually as a real big name shop that have corporate management to answer to.
