Engine swaps, the EPA, and emissions! 700

posted by  someone claiming to be An Insider on  Fri Jul 18 02:09 CST 2003 [RELATED]

FYI.

Engine switching rules are Federal. The EPA does have jurisdiction. California can have stricter rules than Federal pertaining to new car engine emissions requirements, and other States can adopt California rules, with EPA approval.

If guilty of engine switching tampering with emissions controls. The shop that does the work can be held responsible for fines of more than $30,000, and the private individual to potentially more than $6,000. Volvo can tell you if the configuration will substitute.
