Most of the manufactures make a "one size fits all states" engine nowadays. Only back in the 70's and 80's did they actually manufacture different engines for different states. Plus in the 90's diesels were exempt from SMOG regulations in California.

I agree - A vehicle manufactured for the 2000 year model had to have whatever stuff is required for 2000. And....California didn't start implementing 'SMOG' tests until this year. Even at that, it is only a visual inspection, an OBDII port check and a 'smoke' test.
