introduction from (to?) California

[jiho]

I'm in socal and just got through all this 2 or 3 months ago. I'm definitely in a smog area and in San Bernardino county if that is important.

That seems like a fairly stringent area, and certainly recent. Your Jeep is probably a truck registration, though, right? And you swapped in a truck motor? They probably don't worry as much about trucks as they do about cars.

I'm way up in the north end in a 2-speed idle county (Shasta). As I understand it, the Referee here would give a swap a dyno test though.

So, not only did dave w remove some of his own posts, he also removed my post that mentioned the fact, and selectively edited my post #22 replying to someone else to remove mention of the subject matter of his removed posts. It would at least help avoid confusion if my responses #19 and #20 to his removed posts were also removed. In any case, I'm reconsidering my participation in this site. This is an Orwellian environment, of a different aspect to what we deal with here in California. We all go off on tangents from time to time, there's no reason for any of this.

That of course could be a problem if you were putting a motor together from parts, lol.

Anyway, another part of my problem is I want to use my choice of tranny, and especially stay away from computer-controlled trannies. This is not just psychological, around here computer-controlled trannies are probably the #1 cause of craigslist postings. The "bleeding edge" motor that would pass my test on this would be a '93 LT1, which has an EO, but of course is hard to find.

I just took a picture of the label of an 89 k1500 from some random truck "that I pulled my motor from" at the pick and pull. Same year or newer right lol?

What's different about the cars, a smog pump and air temperature sensor? Not a big deal.

From my perspective, just seems some irrelevance and misinformation was cleared up or removed. Makes it much easier for future people in your situation to get the info they need.....

I just came back to comment on this. Neither a label nor an EO is "proof" of anything, just your statement that a piece of paper applies to your swap. A piece of paper with info that tells the Referee what he's supposed to look at to inspect it.

Well now that's putting a positive spin on it!
