Not true. In 72 they were selling over the counter in the parts department complete L-88's, LS6's ZL-1's etc like this one. Over the counter engines were exempt from the smog rules back then. That's how Motion, Nickey etc got their engines. motion got in trouble in 73 as they were selling turn-key cars and not just the engine.
