A ref called me and said I can't be a crate engine. Has to be out of a Vinned vehicle of the same weight class and be 4x4. Maybe. 5.7 out of a 1500 and everything has to be exactly as it was in the 1500. Will be easier to wait for a Hurricane engine.

Shift Autowerx (based out of SoCal) apparently just got trained/certified for AMW swaps. They responded to my comment on one of TrailRecon's recent videos that the plan is to get it CARB certified. I'm not holding my breath, but I do hope they try and succeed.

I'm still reeling from the fact that California has vehicle referees! Do they come out wearing black and white striped shirts with whistles around their necks??

Any update on this, I’m waiting for the 392 gladiator to release before I send mine to Jeep speed shop for a v8 swap. After talking to them they think since mine is currently registered already in CA all I have to do is find someone to ignore the v8 engine in it and run a regular smog. Still would like to talk to someone that has a legally registered v8 in CA and find out the what why and how’s to the process of getting it carb certified.
