I know of a place in Placerville (Just south of Tahoe up in the mountain area). As for legalizing the RB..that won't be the issue. Issue is, you have a car manufactured in the US with a 4 cyl engine...swapping any other engine that is not the same year, or older, of the original engine..is against the law.
I spoke with a lawyer friend of mine tonight..and another point I was worried about was insurance fraud. You can't very well tell the insurance company you swapped another engine into the car..they won't insure you. You can't drive without insurance...and if you claim to have a 4 cyl in..but get into an accident, or are pulled over..you're in big trouble. Especially in an accident situation. Once they find out about the engine..they won't pay a dime...and if you're the cause..the people you hit can sue you for quite a bit....even if it isn't you fault, the money will still be coming out of you pocket.
So, in short..the whole swap isn't worth it, really. The moment you're put in a situation where the truth comes out..you're screwed anyway you look at it. I think I've decided just to build up the KADE in a 91+ S13. That way..if I am pulled over and whatnot..it'll simply be a fix-it ticket. No big deal, really. And it'll still be a 4 cyl, so no issues or fraud with insurance, etc. It's also not as common for the cars. Most do the SR or RB swap nowadays.
If you're still intent on doing the RB20 swap..and are near or willing to drive to Placerville, lemme know. I'll get you setup with the people.
