If the car is a '72 then the engine installed in that chassis must meet emission standards for that year. There is zero chance that Ford would install an engine not certified as meeting emission standards for that year. The fine, at the time, was $10,000 per occurance -which cuts pretty deep into company profit margins.
So there is every reason for them NOT to do that. I don't know when the production cycle for '72 began but May '71 seems more like a late cycle '71 rather than an early cycle '72. New model year production, as I understand it and I'm by no means an expert in this area, usually starts in July. |
