 Do emissions laws allow this for newer car bodies?  If one buys a 1990
 Lincoln and stuffs a heavily modified 460 engine and C6 transmission,
 pulled out of a 1972 vehicle, into it, is it considered a 1990 or a 1972
 vehicle for emissions standards?

 as I understand it, the car must have the emission controls that came with
that year car body. so, putting a 1986 ford turbo engine in my 1979 pinto
shouldnt be a problem.  heh.
