I also talked with Ben Nelson this weekend and he informed me that I can in fact convert a 96+ vehicle. I just have to bring it in for inspection like he did with his electric car to get emissions exempt. I guess we'll see what cars come along.

This brings up the idea that I could just swap the engine into my Paseo... Its more aerodynamic anyways... VERY tempting.
