so it can be any motor as long as it's from the same year?  because the 94 accord ex is a bit different than the base models.... is it federal regulation that prevents the swap?

If you could also find out if he knows where to find regulations like that, such as a website or something, that would be really helpful too.

Since starting this thread I decided to contact various insurance companies, as well as the CA DMV. Swapping engines is legal if :

1) the engine year is newer than vehicle year
2) all emissions hardware from the engine is still present
3) vehicle passes emissions
4) the engine has been used in a crash test, regradless of the vehicle
5) proper and appropriate sensors and electronics are used for the engine, i.e. making an OBDII into OBDI is not legal
