They are not gonna check the numbers on the block to see if the engine is the same year as the car...And externally, there is no difference between the 289/302...
: CA law says: "an engine of a vintage older than the vehicle into which it is being installed shall not be allowed" (or some such legal mumbo jumbo).
: The old 'hot rodder's adage' also applies here..."There's No Substitue For Cubic Inches!". The 302 packs more torque and horsepower into the same sized (externally) package as a comparably equipped 289.
