If you install an engine that is the same year or newer, with the smog equipment, the State looks at it as being an engine change--as far as they are concerned, if the smog devices are transferred over(from the dnor car), the new engine is at worst a wash or it will be an upgrade for the car since newer engines produce less smog. This is better for the environment since it is now an upgrade for the car, thus it is legal as it will easily pass the sniffer test. Use the search function to look for threads regarding this topic. If you buy the JTR manual, it will go a long way in describing to you how to pass smog. The principle listed above is very simple once you understand it, and passing smog should be a breeze. As far as handling is concerned, it should be as good or even a little better than stock. Some tall guys on the forum build 2+2's because of their great headroom and over spaciousness.
