Starting to sort out things on my engine for registration. Do they go by the casting date for emissions or the part number? I think I have a block that has a cast date in 1974; will that be an issue?

They will look at the casting number, in your case it should be a D4OE style casting number/letter combination. "D"=1970's, "4"=1974

Hi Bill,
I was hoping you'd chime in. Here's a pick of what I have, looking at the driver's side front of the block (The picture is upside down for ease in reading):
My big concern of course are the emissions as I was hoping for a "PCV only" requirement.

another concern!
I'll be ready soon also for NJ inspection. My concern is that they told me that with the tires flat the lowest point of the engine, bell housing or the trans should have 4" of clearance! With my tires inflated I only have 3.5" under the bell housing...........

I haven't heard the 4" requirement, just that you have to clear the ground with all 4 tires flat, in essence riding on your rims and not having anything drag...

Who told you this? Was it the folks at the Asbury Park inspection station? If so, as I have said far to many times in the past, DO NOT USE THAT INSPECTIONS STATION. Use Morristown only as they are far more skilled, and do not change the rules based on their own basis towards kit cars like A.P. does.

I don't think any of our cars can meet that requirement. Why would they specify clearance with the tires flat? People tend not to drive their car when their tires are flat....  |

I think you misunderstood them. They want to make sure with all four tires flat that the car does not drag the frame (or brake/fuel lines). meaning that if all four tires would go flat at the same time, you could still roll the car on it's bare rims.
