Magnumdust, not to get into a big debate, but where did you come up with that first paragraph of info? I forget the cutoff year also (around '74 or so), but it's my understanding that prior to the cutoff, the car is exempt from all smog restrictions, period. No biennial testing and no testing at exchange of ownership. It's all based on the YM of the body and you can put any year engine, up or down that you want. Swap in a diesel too if you want...

I can't promise anything, given that anything I post puts some people in a fit.

Anyhow, from this Novak(engine swap specialty company)

"We’ve read that California law does exempt 1973 and earlier vehicles from emissions regulations. The CARB web site, however, mentions that vehicles since 1967 are not exempted. Again, do your research."

Technically you are right that there is no biannual testing or testing at the exchange of ownership. However, i believe that post 67' you could in theory run into a A-hole cop who could ticket your vehicle for non-compliance and force you to go through the inspection process.

I've never heard of it happening, and as i said in that earlier post. No one follows that guideline. I nearly sold my car to a cop a couple yrs ago and i flat out told him it had a 90s truck engine. He didn't seem to care one way or the other.
