How is a car designed before any regulations supposed to pass a modern smog test?
Does it have to? You could probably get by with some tuning, or if that doesnt work refitting some injectors maby? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also how many classic cars are still running on their original engine?
Most of them? These are not custom hot rods, they’re restored stock cars. A careful and attentive restorer is going to try to match every detail to the day the car first rolled off the production line. This means keeping (and rebuilding) the original engine, not installing a modern emission-controlled engine in its place.
The aim of keeping classic car is to keep it as pristine and as close to the original as possible, modding in that way kinda defeat the purpose of most collector.
Tell me you know nothing about the topic witbout telling me.
