Who's put their 3.6 swap through CA Smog?
I'm contemplating upgrading my 77 911s CA BAR legal 3.2 conversion to a 3.6. My biggest concern is going back to the CA smog referee station to get the car certified with the 3.6. I've pretty much ruled out the 993 engines with their OBD 2 systems due to their complexity. I really don't want to try to wire in a check engine light into my dash. For those of you who live in Kalifornia and have done a 3.6 in a 76 or later car: please share your thoughts and experiences specifically on what it took to get your 3.6 conversion legally past CA smog.

I'm with TT, a summary from anyone who has done this would greatly benefit all the California pelican members thinking of a 3.6 upgrade. Anyone????

The engine you want is the 95 993 engine as it is OBD1 not the OBD2 compliant. No engine interlock tied into the DME - 272 hp hyd lifters- runs quieter, no valve adjustments and with a chip can hit 300 hp. jim

"I really don't want to try to wire in a check engine light into my dash."
Then stay with the 911 3.2. "with a chip can hit 300 hp" Wait, maybe even 325, right?
