About to drop a new KA in my car

correct me if im wrong.. but isn't it illegal to drop in an older motor into a newer chassis?

I've heard that fact in regards to California, but I haven't read anything confirming it. But another point is--how will the car-Nazi's find out? By looking under the hood, there should be no way of telling if the engine in the '96 was originally in the '93, will there? Unless, the Nazi can research numbers on the engine and see if they're "registered" to the VIN on the car, I don't know how they would be able to enforce that law in situations like this.
