[QUOTE="Reloaded, post: 12746506, member: 65600"] Due to a previous ticket a few years ago, I ended up having to go to the state ref. Put simply, it didn't go well. At first he tried to tell me it wasn't a legal engine swap ('04 Cobra engine in an '04 Mach 1), which he later ended up saying was ok after talking to his "boss". He refused to pass it due to it not having the entire wiring harness swapped over from the '04 Cobra. I didn't do that because the car was originally just an Eaton swapped Mach 1, which I later put a reman'd Cobra long block in when the stock Mach block gave up the ghost, and the car runs perfectly fine without swapping harnesses. About the electrical; I am going to guess that's a good possibility. The only thing that confuses me is the fact that the car didn't have any problems with the sensors when it was an Eaton on the stock Mach block with the Sniper tune. I will get the wiring diagrams for both models and see if it is in fact a different pin out for the emissions sensors. And yes, quite a headache. I spent a good couple of months when I got a ticket a few years ago for no cats (which I understand was my own fault), and now the car's been without reg for a year (which is partially due to me not wanting to deal with this). Thus is CA though... Thanks for the suggestions so far. As an aside, I don't have any stock parts for the car, but I imagine that the stock tune could be flashed, though I don't see that really fixing anything since the tune is based on an '04 Cobra.
