Age has nothing to do with getting a hot-rod e-test. You need an engine swap and have to go to the dealership and get a letter from them stating that the engine did not originally come in that model.

If your car is imported and not originally sold in this country (no e-test limits in our system) you can be tested as a grey-market vehicle which has the same limits as a hot-rod e-test.
