ok i dont know what section this goes so i put it in the 5.0 and 2.3 sectionin but her we go i am having some problems on what to do with my mustangs should i swap out the power trane from my 86gt 5.0l 8.8 rear and a t5 trans and put it in the 91lx 4cylroller that needs a front endand has no motor or transbut the rest of the body is mint no rust but
if i do that then i have to think about md emishions or should i take out all of the good parts on the 91lx doors int 1/4 glass ect and put them on the 86gt that needs some body work it has some rust or should i just try to put a 2.3t in the 91lx and get it running and put a front end on it get rid of the 86gt help me out man what would you do sorry about the spelling

I know how you feel about MD emissions......been there done that ...that's why I moved to west virginia........but still work in MD....if you plan to drive the car and have it tagged in MD then best bet is to go with the older car and you may be able to get historic tags and won't have to worry about emissions then....some say historic tags there are now 20 years???

thanks and i got historic tags the reson i am asking this is cuz the 91lx roller i bought is in better shape body wise then my 86gt thats why i am asking this

If you put the 86 stuff in..theroretically it has to conform to the 91 emissions but either way you look at it it'll be run on the dyno/treadmill test.....as long as it'll pass the sniffer they won't even open the hood there...it's your call but remember most of the people on here are not from MD so their advice will only be valid from a logical and opinion stand point, since they are not familiar with MD emissions laws

ya that is what i am a lil worred about is the 91 emissions cuz if it is a 4cyl car and it blows like a v8 wont i get in trubble or sumthing o and i whant to thank you cuz you are the only person on this forum that answers all my ?

doesn't matter if it's a 4 , 6 or 8 cyl the test measures emissions output in grams per mile =gpm.....and the max standard is the same for all vehicles pre obd II I ran mine in MD when it was a 4cyl and it passed easy when I converted it to a 5.0 I ran it again just before moving to WV...and it just barely failed for nox= no egr valve...but the limits were the same for it as they were for the 4 cyl......it's a standardized limit for gasoline powered vehicles if I'm not mistaken
