see i thought as long as the vehicle would pass emms according to the original specs of the engine the vehical came with, it was all good. which is exactly why i never put a 302 in my 94 runner

It seems every state has thier own rules when it comes to this sort of thing but for the most part you shouldn't have to many problems as long as you can meet the emision requirments.

I dont get why everyone is stating that its such an issue to swap a newer motor into an older truck?
By law, In California. To perform a motor swap on a vehicle, the motor MUST be newer than the vehicle its going in, and it must have all of the factory emission options in the correct place on the new vehicle, as they were on the donor, and they must be functioning correctly.
Which is why the 3.4 swap is so popular here
