i can not get my truck inspected. The truck is in my garage. 1985 toyota powered by a chevy 350 mated to a turbo 350. everywhere i have taken it, the inspection station finds out it has this engine in it (i wonder why with the rumble it has:rolleyes:) and they say they can not inspected it. they never give me a reason. they just say with that engine in it they will not inspect it. i live in PA so thats a lot of it. but the part i live in does not require an emission sticker. when i bought it, it was inspected. wish i just would have gotten a full bred chevy truck instead but when i saw this, i thought what a awesome on road/off road truck=small truck, big motor. but now it has not been road legal for a year and a half and i am going to college and i do not know what to do with it. any suggestions?

Make a call to your local DMV and ask for some advice.

(d) Visual inspection of emission control system. Vehicles registered in counties where there is not an emission inspection program under Chapter 177 (relating to emission inspection program), shall be checked visually for the presence of emission control components. These components may be original vehicle equipment or an equivalent aftermarket replacement component meeting the same standards. In addition to the exceptions under § 175.4 (relating to vehicles required to be inspected), this subsection does not apply to vehicles registered as collectible or classic motor vehicles as defined in 75 Pa.C.S. § 102 (relating to definitions).

(1) The visual inspection shall be performed through direct observation or through indirect observation, using a mirror or other visual aid.

(2) Provided that the make and model year of the vehicle would have originally been equipped with the device, reject if one or more of the following apply:

(i) The catalytic converter has been removed, disconnected or is the wrong type for the certified vehicle configuration.

(ii) Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve has been removed, disconnected or is the wrong type for the certified vehicle configuration.

(iii) Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve has been removed, disconnected or is the wrong type for the certified vehicle configuration.

(iv) Fuel inlet restrictor has been removed, disconnected or is the wrong type for the certified vehicle configuration.

(v) Air pump has been removed, disconnected or is the wrong type for the certified vehicle configuration.

(vi) Evaporative control system components have been removed, disconnected or are the wrong type for the certified vehicle configuration

Does your drop in small block have all the emission stuff that would of origionally came on that truck? You still have a visual inspection, even though you are no in an emission area.
