I appreciate your frustration tho.
Those who live in Calif. could put a nice clean 3.6L motor in their car.

Half-truths.
Yes, you CAN put a 3.6L engine in your car, but (1) it'll no longer be smog-exempt and (2) I'd be required to have all the current-year (or whatever year the crate motor is) emission control stuff on it. And of course there's the little matter that a 3.6L crate motor will set one back about $12,000, but who's counting?
CARB is most definitely driven by money rather than any sense of duty. Of this, I am 100% convinced. If not, please explain how any manufacturer of aftermarket parts can essentially buy their CARB exemption number so long as they're willing to throw enough money at the approval process and why CARB issues blanket exemptions to major polluters like trucking and bussing companies every year...
Follow the money. This is yet another bloated Kalifornia agency which exists solely to legitimize itself by controlling as much money and budget as it can while mission statement is an incidental.
