The basic frustration is with the attitude "I don't care whether it makes
emissions specs or not, it ain't stock so it don't pass". This is blatant
stupidity. If certain emission limits are set and my car passes these it
should not matter what is under the hood. This is called being
reasonable and logical. We are dealing with government here and
government is not known for being reasonable or logical.

Well DUHH!!! Your car is an 80, that's six years after 74 standards.
Cripes, by that logic I shouldn't have to have headlights on the TF since
they weren't required back in the 20's.
Come on, crying because you can't pass visual for some other era car is a
seriously childish ploy. One the inspectors really aren't going to have
any sympathy for. Nor would most other people for that matter.

Since you seem to be the type that likes to beat your head against walls,
you'll have a hell of a time and never get the car on the road. I, on
the other hand, would drop the stock four in their, let it pass, and then
swap it back.
