Well if it was that simple why don’t people register skylines and sylvias as kit cars… ---

this car is NASTY. john (owner/seller) is second owner…someone else built it with a 351 initially like 3 years ago. this car has been beat hard and holds up well. john built it up to the 408 it is currently running. it is a bolt-in kit from [kugelkomponents.com](http://kugelkomponents.com) ---

> [@Boomin99GT](#): > > But the '03 Cobra motor would still have the same emission control devices to make it pass an inspection/smog test most likely. A carb’d motor would not. Which was my original question. I know the existing 408 would not work, but if someone wanted a V8 Focus with over 400hp… a Cobra motor would be my first thought… the motor is wide as hell though. I know you can put a newer Hemi motor in a Jeep Wrangler… and pass. ---

Homemade/Kit/custom cars are exempt from emissions inspections. they only receive a safety only inspection ---

How does one determine how safe a kit car is? That focus would make a fun track car… but you’d really have to take advantage of a newer motor if you wanted to enjoy it on the street. Or register it in PA. ---
