the only way you can do it is if you can prove that the older engine will meet or exceed the emissions standard of the new motor

so to do this you need to get an emissions test.

thats the only way you can legally engineer/register it

How much would it cost for an emission test? Also wouldnt a 96 and 98 b18cr have the same emission level?
