[Vwdiesel] States that allow conversions?

[Tony and Lillie]

Interesting thing is, I remember in some states the law used to read that 
you could put any engine into anything else, as long as it used the 
emissions and met the emissions standards of whatever was newer. In this 
case, obviously you were encouraged to use a newer engine in an older car 
rather than the opposite.
Is this still the case anywhere?
