Replying to: british_rover (Nov 04, 2009 1:31 pm) As long as they're just doing a test where they take actual tailpipe readings, rather than computer codes, the only thing that matters is that it runs clean enough. And that it has a catalytic converter, if they happen to look underneath for that. I don't think they'd even be able to tell if you had an older motor in. What would probably happen would be if the car failed, they'd make you take a re-test. And then if it failed the re-test, you'd get a waiver if you could produce enough receipts showing that you tried to fix the problem. So then you'd get a pass until next time. I've always wondered how many times they'll let you take a re-test? In Maryland, the first test is $14. If you fail, I think you have 30 days to get it re-tested, and that test is free. After that though, each additional test is $15. I wonder if you could just keep re-taking and failing the test indefinitely? $15 per month really isn't a lot of money, if you have some wildly modified car like a 426Hemi PT Cruiser or a 351W Focus, which most likely would never pass.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 04, 2009 4:23 pm) 68 volvo P1800 --- not too far off if the car is show quality. Try $10,000 to $11,000. '69 Goat -- it would have to be pretty impressive for that money. |

Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 04, 2009 5:08 pm) So if a standard 5-liter carbureted V-8 with 100,000+ miles on it can easily pass an emissions test, I'm guessing there's plenty of wiggle room for much bigger, higher performance engines...provided they're tuned up correctly.
