My New truck and some questions
78 Chevy Silverado Shortbed
Engine- 350 from a 93 truck 30k miles Edelbrock Performer Intake Holley 650cfm Doug Thorley Headers Small Cam Tranny- TH350 /w B&M Shift kit 12 Bolt Rear with 3.42's (for highway cruising) Body- White with small pinstriping at the bottom (wich will eventually be painted over white the Heartbeat tailgate logo will also be removed) Billet Grille H4 Headlights Suspension- KYB Shocks Air Shocks in Rear Lowered 4/6 on 275/60/15's on 15x8.5 Wheels Exhaust- Freeway mufflers for now /w no cats (Aero Chambers going on) Sound System- (From my old truck) Sony Head Unit Rockford Fosgate 6 1/2's Infinity 10 /w MTX Amp All for $5500, Interior Is clean as a whistle. As for the questions, Its a california truck and Has no emissions on it because of the motor swap, the guy told me he could smog it since he knows a guy that would do it for him. It will pass the sniffer with everything thats on it now, just wont pass visual. My question is... Cant I just find some VIN plates for a 73 or 74 and slap them on the doors and re-register it as smog exemt so I wont have to mess with emissions again? Its either that or turning it into a Fuel injected 350 or putting all the smog pump garbage back on this motor (wich I really dont want to do) Last edited by r0lf-; 05-24-2003 at 01:11 PM. |

ACTUALLY..you could do the vin swap thing..dunno how legal it'd be
 But if you found a junked 74-down, you could buy it and swap the tags, then register this 78 as that 74...

It got broken into and they stole the stereo, but I am putting my old stereo in it. I have a brand new GM Bezel for it.

That is a nice ride indeed. Too bad is has to in the People's Republic. The Vin swap thing has been badly wanted in that state for 25 years. I remember as a kid how much demand there was for it.
If you can find the PERFECT donor (good luck), and the owner/junk yard owner goes along (good luck) and you do a real convincing job attaching the plate(s) you might get lucky. Your gonna have to make a title too right? good luck indeed. |

Well... im gonna have to talk with him about this. I might just have to go to the guy he goes to in 2 years, so It can pass again. Then it will be exempt. All I really need is someone with connections. Its perfectly legal in the sniffer POV, but visual its not. Wich is so stupid to me, but oh well.
What would I need to install on the motor to get it to pass visual also? Smog pump? Its got smog legal Doug Thorley Headers, Dual Exhaust (id need some cats), Edelbrock Performer Intake (not too sure about EGR), Holley 650CFM carb (not too sure wich model). Id need a smog box and other stuff. Last edited by r0lf-; 05-25-2003 at 06:20 PM. |

Rolf,
If you need help determining what you need/don't need for smog, lemme know. I'll help you out (as I just had to go through all that crap for my 75)
