    How hard would it be to get a Toyota diesel motor swap legal in CA? I really wanna do this swap I think it would be unique an badass
    plus they sound pretty badass with a stack.

    think it would involve a smog referee, which unless everything is perfect its gonna get kicked back. And i think california banned diesel swaps, so i doubt it will pass inspection anyways... cali sux.

    easier method is register your truck somewhere where there isnt smog ( like julian, ca ) and then just do the swap.

    I read up on it just now on toyotadiesel.com an it said you go an fill out a statement of facts paper an change it from gas to diesel and an employee will come out an check an see if it's diesel an that's it. Seems way to simple but I'm really thinking about getting a yota turbo diesel
