One of the big questions that has been asked is..
"How can we comply with the manufacturers specifications when we are the manufacturer"
In better words we build ICV's -independantly constructed vehicles - so we comply with what we register.
Therefore, if the Cobra is registered in 1988 it must have the 1988 EPA bits on the motor. The motor must have a PCV and the fuel tank must have a carbon filter can. That's it.
If it was registered in 1987 then there are no EPA requirements on the motor.
The EPA guys know exactly what every year car/engine must have and look accordingly.
If you register in 2005 then you use an LS1 or a Quad 4.6 Ford. But how long before they ask for collapsible steering wheels and airbags...
