Apparently you don't understand the emmission testing process here in California. It's all computerised and based on the CARB's database of vehicle models and engine combinations. The results of the tests are automatically sent by the testing equipment to the DMV. Having CARB's certification of a transplant means that it is in the database... Finagling the process has a very hefty penalty as well as loss of certification as a testing facility.
