Nothing prevents the retrofit of a more modern and fuel-efficient engine and transmission setup into some older guzzler, such as the straight-5 out of a Chevy Colorado into a full-size from the 70's or 80's originally fitted with a carburettor-fed V8 or an early TBI... |
In this state, the older trucks are exempt from emissions. Which means biodiesel swap!
Actually, what it means is they're rusted into oblivion.
