No Smog required (WA has an age limit), but we just have the sniffer test anyway. But even if it was required all you need is the correct number of cylinders and pass the snif test. My Sami always passes with flying colors because the 1600 FI motor, it was cleaner than the stock carbed 1300.
I am still looking at the tank issues, I see a couple possible clearance issues I am concerned about (Taco tank). The biggest problem I have is my truck is (basically) a flat bed with a box under the bed behind the cab. Right in the way, I want to make sure the tank will fit before cutting the box out. If it will fit I have no problem removing (cutting out) the box. But if it will not fit I would prefer to keep the box. I can use the 22RE tank with modified lines (from what I have read). So I am looking at that also, possible hybrid 22RE tank with Taco fuel lines?
Once I decide that I can decide how to route everything else...
As for a build thread, nothing. I have tried to take pictures and most of them (except this last weekend) are at:
http://www.supermotors.net/registry/10927/81359 Or you could go to:
http://www.supermotors.net/registry/10927 and see pictures of how I bought the truck and the changes to it as well as other projects in the past.
At this point I am still sorting through all the information out there on the swap and it's allot with allot of variances (makes it harder evaluate the info).
I’m not sure another build thread would help anyone, may just hinder. If I had the time and a better understanding of the build, I would sort out a bare bones (cut out all the BS posts) thread with just technical data.
