I'll say it again, read more and post less. (Or at the very least, don't try and say anything as a fact)

It was just a thought. I think my main point which I should have put it in bold but here it is; Since I live in California, smog is a big deal here. I was thinking if I were to do an engine swap, it would be a way to pass visual test. A blower/turbo is far easier, but then I would need a "special smog."
Anyways, buying a mach 1 would be ideal, it's just I have to sell my car. I probably wouldn't get what I want.
Do you think I could get 8k for my car, 100k on it? Pretty much stock.

...not really, but it depends on your area. But also, whoever is selling their Mach 1 probably wouldn't get as much as they would want, either.

You'll need to check the updated laws but I lived there most of my life and the rule was, "as long as" the new engine comes from a current or newer year it can be transplanted into an older car. So, visual tests isn't a big deal. the emissions are still only require the same percentage so you should still be good there as well.

If it where me, (And it actually was at one point) I'd just put on a blower and call it a day. Or like they suggested, and if you can swing it, buy a mach1.

(To my knowledge, there are no turbo system that are CARB legal for the state of California. Where as the Vortech SI & S, 2.2 KB, P1SC are. The bigger blowers are not, T trim, D, 2.8 etc.)
