Probably no chance this will pass CA smog with the wrong engine in it.
Probably not a good deal anyway with that engine in there (it won't last)
unless you want yourself a project car and are already into type IIIs and
want to restore the car and build it a new engine. And if you wanted to do
all that why would you start out with this specimen?
About the only 2 good things I see here are the dash and the pedigree.
(On top of that you have to remember to take my advice with a grain of salt
because I want to save them ALL.)
