They do a visual inspection. The little screen tells them that there should a horizontal 4 cylinder in there. Most smog stations know a little bit about engine types and won't touch the conversion without a CARB sticker. You get that sticker at the referee. The referees are not dumb, they tend to catch little things like missing O2 sensors...
