Here is the BAR webpage FAQ on bringing out of state vehicles into CA. http://smogcheck.ca.gov/smogweb/Geninfo/default.asp?RefPage=/Geninfo/Publications/Out_of_State_Car_(Stop_Before_You_Buy).htm From what I hear, they will look to see that the engine conversion has all the stock components related to emissions as their guide. You also have to pass a smog check for the emissions for either the vehicle year of manufacture or engine year of manufacture - whichever is newer.
