Hi all, first post here

i have a couple of questions regarding zc motor swap into my 90 crx. i searched using zc but got nothing, im sorry if this has been asked before...

the stock motor of my 90 crx si went and im looking for a replacement motor. my mech says that the zc wont pass smog in cali and my dad's mech says it will... does anyone know what the truth is?

im only interested in the most basic engine swap cuz this is my commuter car and im not planning on doing naws or turbo or any other power adders.

second, does anyone have any leads on a good place to purchase motors from in the So Cal area?
