The cool thing about turning a diesel into a sleeper is as long as you register it while it's running you never have to have it smog tested...... you can take a registered diesel and drop a killer drive train into it and never have to worry about aftermarket parts or stuff that wouldn't pass the visual inspection. You could go nuts and build a Rat motor for it and unless a cop looked under the hood you would get away with it......
