96+ stang with a 5.0 carb motor....how does it pass state

[thedriver33]

was thinking of what i can do with this 96 mustang i got in my driveway......wanted to put a 5.0 motor in it.....but how does it get inspected once it all done?

ive seen a few of these swaps around dallas and just wondering what needs to be done to make it work

Have a hook up at the inspection station

Wait until 2021.

It will never pass legal sniffer inspection in DFW until it is 25 years old.

[Z06killinsbf]

Maybe try a really small carb with some good cats.

Won't happen until it is 25+yrs old.

People still get inspections?

Coming next year, you won't be able to purchase your registration sticker without a valid inspection.

that sucks.....well need something legal....guess ill find a 3.8 to put back into.

[CexMashean]

it can't be that hard to find a 4.6 that you'd decide to settle on a 3.8.

Why bother? Woohoo, 180 RWHP!!!11 Even if he went with a PI motor it would be better just to go buy a 99-04 GT for 4k than do an engine swap in a 96.

[CexMashean]

If they ever plan to sell it, that's why to bother.
As it is, it's probably not worth more than what could be used to start a junk yard fire anyways.

well i would like the 50 swap because i would enjoy the car more...but need it to state legal.....plus i can get a used 3.8 for like $250 and get this car moving again.
