Then they would want to look at your car and probably have a shit fit. You might be alright since a 97 is pre VIN recognition for DMV. Either way the state gets pissy when you do stuff like that. The problem would not be with the chassis year, it would be with what your scanning. When your entered in as a 97 and DMV noticed that computer being scanned is that of a car/ecu with Vin recognition red flags go up. At that point its not a visual/sneaky paper playing game like it is with a pre 96 car when being plugged in is not the problem, just knowing someone that will overlook the fact that the completely wrong motor is in the car :rofl WHen your dealing with scanning the computer, and the chassis is completely differant then what the computers reading from the ECU it throws a shit fit Something like that… im sure you can get the gist --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/general-nys-inspection-and-obd2-question/260430)._
