He's in Cali, you have to use the OBD generation that came with the car or newer. You can't backdate things just because you want to. So in this case, yes, there is something wrong with OBD1. Besides that, using an engine with the same OBD generation makes wiring up the new engine a snap and you'll be sure that it works and looks correct, also important in Cali.
Start looking at location before you tell everyone on the board that OBD1 is where it's at... 
You could get around that easily with two ecus, one for smoggin, one for performance.
And their are no wiring harness changes needed, just an adapter harness. My internally converted ECU, doesn't even need an external harness, it's builtin, my OBD1 ecu, plugs directly into my OBD2B car. Depending if they do a visual inspection of the ecu (print up a new barcode sticker, they'll never know), or a electronic inspection (they might be able to plug into the diag port, and determine the OBD generation.
You're right, i should pay more attention to where people are posting from... :jerkit:
Hey, you're in North Carolina eh?
Well then try using your imagination for something other than getting your cousin into bed. :boink:
