New engine in older truck

You can find places that have a crate engine with all new parts but all i can think of is put it in reman engines.

 

Why put a emissions motor in it. Do like the other poster stated. Crate reman for that year trk.

 

The engine year is what determines the emissions. If you put one in that needed EGR, it must have EGR. If it had DPF, then you need DPF.

So to avoid the ELD mandate, which probably is on the chopping block anyway, you get a 1999 or older, then install an engine that requires emission controls that aren't more efficient than what you would have in that truck originally?

 

Towards the end of each period of engine, they get close to getting it right, then the EPA moves the goal posts. The EPA98 engines probably would be what would be considered the best of both worlds, and that is what they are putting in gliders. DDEC IV, 6NZ Cats, and N14. Best emissions, best mileage and least problem combination.

 

That car only needing to meet the emissions for the year it was made is not universal. I have read that if you put a late model engine in a 29 Chevy it has to meet the engine serial # emissions in Cali. States can require more than federal law just not less, my understanding.
