LVW HC CO NOX
3375 162 0.91 1227
3750 148 0.83 1110

The difference is vehicle weight, not necessarily engine type. So it appears the 2 cars have different listed LVW thus different standards. It seems this came in as part of the roller tests. It did not used to be like that.


There is no ideal timing, every engine setup is different. You have a cat in the car?


hmm both of the emissions/inspections papers i have in front of me were for the same car/same weight. both of them were for an 87 camaro sport coupe one a 305 the other a 2.8 i know the 350 came from an irocz which is a slightly heavier car but the other two car wise are roughtly the same in weight and everything except for a couple pounds due to the engines

yes the car has the a cat converter.

yes the vin on my car states its a v6 car. so ill have to pass emissions as a v6 which is why im trying to find out what the standards are for the thirdgens that came with a 350. to see what the differance is between them.

why doesnt my car have a flying chance in hell ? i have done everything acording to the federal guidelines for doing such an engine swap so techically and legaly it should pass emissions with out a problem its just a matter of getting the engine's tune to be smog friendly to give it the best chances possibly and then off to the states inspection place i go. every one like you keeps telling me that the car will never pass legaly and to just go and buy a sticker but how do you know that it wont unless you atleast try and attempt to do it ?
being that the 2.8 standards are higher then the 305 standards that actualy gives the car a fairly decent chance at passing. i kinda figured that sense the standards for the v6 were higher then the 305 that maybe the standards for the 305 would be higher then the standards for the 350 which if true would mean that there is a decent amount of leeway in there and extra room to use in order for the car to legaly pass emissions.
