I'm not unfavorable to EFI for instance, but less suppose an engine certified for agricultural machinery could be fitted to a random street-legal vehicle while its emissions in real-world driving remain within the applicable rules pertaining to the model-year. Would it be fair to prevent people from swapping an engine that could serve them better? So, smog controls have a point, but they might not be implemented the right way.
