I agree , if the motor looks stock and you can keep your cake-hole locked
(I couldn't) then you should be OK .

Here in the 13 county metro Atlanta area , we adopted something like these
really shitty emmisions laws about two or three years ago . They say that
if the year of the engine doesn't match the year of the vehicle and that
size motor wasn't available in that vehicle that year , then you're screwed .

BUT , if it looks close enough to stock , and the numbers are good.....way
good....then you should be OK .
