Koastal Cat Prowler Junkie Posts: 297 From: San Diego, CA. Registered: FEB 2002	posted 07-08-2004 12:45 PM Thinking down the road in a few years... Will a late model auto (2003) fail CA smog test if the motor has been stroked and bored to say 40% more displacement? In other words... is the smog test equipment expecting particulates for a 4.6L when in reality the displacement is now 6.5L? It should pass the visual... it looks like a 4.6L and has all the 2003 stock smog stuff but is pumps out more exhaust gases. Thanks ! - Kcat

Least that's the way I understand the law.
