Is it legal to put a carb v8 in a 1999 explorer?

Question

Ok my friend really wants to have a bad-*** explorer and wants to put a 302 v8 with a e85 ready carb and drive it every day. our main question is is it legal to run in oregon and it will have an egr port for emissions resons but would it pass emissions as well?

Answer 1

what the DOT doesn't know, can't hurt you!!!

Answer 2

I'm not sure if it's the same as Cali but here you can't swap engines for a larger then stock. I don't think they would allow an engine swap with a carb due to the poor MPG and the increase in emissions. Check out the DMV website and do a search about engine swaps or replacing engines... I hope that's not the case but I think it is! Good luck!
