Fw: [BMWCSRegistry] CS Question

[crcote at mindspring.com]

This also brings up a question that I have about importing non-US emissions spec cars (there's a real nice '86 Jag XJ12 in Canada that I have my eye on -- for the wife, BTW). Chuckie the hot rodder plans to eventually put a Chevy V8 into it, but I would still need to get it into the country as it presently is.  

Anybody here know much about what I would need to do? Anything older than 25 years doesn't need an annual emissions test around Atlanta, so I would still have that to deal with for a few more years as well. Does the EPA also have a 25 year deal of some sort? I'm hoping I could get the required emissions gear off of a '86 that's presently sitting in a junkyard somewhere in the US?

TIA,

ChuckATL
