question 2. What would it take to pass a ls1 in a s14? The car would have two cats, two mufflers, and be quiet. It would also be running the stock ecu/pcm and all factory vacume lines will connected. Engine will also be newer than the chasis. Any other rules to get it to pass?

rumor had that awhile back, that california laid off the refs, couldnt pay them, whatever. i dont know if thats true or not.
as for question 2
read appendix E of the smog check guide.

if you are going to bother making this swap legit, i would try and talk to a referee so you can find out exactly what you need to do. once again, he is pretty much the final authority smogwise.
