In Missouri cars 1995 and older do not need a smog inspection. So you can take any 70's-80's smog car and rip out all the pollution junk.
How does it work in california?

Just for your info. It is not legal to delete any of the pollution devices. Federal EPA rules.

Hmm I know guys that have 80's malibus and a Diplomet with built 350 and a 360 running straight duals and they always pas inspection.

Still not legal. How many times have you sped without getting a ticket. Doesn't make it legal.

Only said that legal means smog stays. Moonshine hasn't stopped because it was illegal.

Yes and no.

If someone took a 1983 Diplomat 318 and swapped in a 2005 5.7L Hemi sourced from a 300C; the newer emission control specs override the older regulations as long as everything from the flexplate forward is retained i.e. catalytic converters, OBD II system, etc. In other words; one can safely not run a smog pump assuming it wasn't mandated on the 21st Century Hemi.

That would be a substitution, not a deletion.
