Swipe zero emissions with pre-emissions

Used to be a time where one could install any engine he wanted in a vehicle. As long as it met the emission requirements for year of vehicle and not year of engine. .

Example. 1960 chev 350 in a 1990 chev pickup. Had to pass for 1990. It couldn't slide as a 1960. And it absolutely had to pass. It wouldn't qualify for waiver requirements.

Looks like from the posted link. It has to be the same spec'd engine now.

 

You must know alot of butt kissers
Maybe find new friends?

 

Those who think opposing modern emissions requirements in class 8 trucks are just a bunch of "crying Owner Operators" are called a lot of things by me but "friends" are not on that list.

 

11 years of DPF and no end in sight. And I live in California with no plans of moving. So no.choice but to comply with CARB. No whining from me about it. You guys have at it...... plenty of dead horse left over.

 

I rest my case.

 

That's pretty much how it still is. Whatever configuration the vehicle was certified by the manufacturer in regards to the emissions system, it has to comply. If that was 1990 for a 1990 vehicle, any engine you drop into it has to meet or exceed 1990 standards. If it was 2010, then anything you drop in must comply with 2010 standards.

Glider kits are not certified by the manufacturer for emissions, because they require 2/3 of the drive train (engine/transmission/drive axles) to come from the same donor vehicle which HAS been certified, and that certification carries over to the glider. This was deemed to reduce waste, as the cab/chassis wears out before the engine/transmission and allows for the power train of wrecked trucks to be reused in "new" vehicles.
